SECTION 2: HAZARD(S) IDENTIFICATION

CLASSIFICATION: COMBUSTIBLE DUST/RESPIRATORY HAZARD IF SMALL PARTICLES ARE GENERATED

DURING FURTHER PROCESSING, HANDLING OR BY OTHER MEANS.

LABEL ELEMENTS:

SIGNAL WORD: WARNING

HAZARD STATEMENT(S): CLASS 2B EYE IRRITANT. MAY CAUSE BREATHING DIFFICULTIES IF INHALED.

IF SMALL PARTICLES ARE GENERATED DURING FURTHER PROCESSING, HANDLING OR BY OTHER

MEANS, MAY FORM COMBUSTIBLE DUST CONCENTRATIONS IN AIR.

PRECAUTIONARY STATEMENT(S): DUST FROM PARTICULATES MAY BE A MECHANICAL EYE

IRRITANT. RINSE EYES WITH WATER FOR SEVERAL MINUTES.

AVOID BREATHING DUST. EXCESSIVE INHALATION MAY AFFECT NOSE, THROAT AND LUNGS. AVOID

IGNITION SOURCES: GRAIN DUST MAY BURN IF SUSPENDED IN AIR AND MAY CREATE A FLASH FIRE/

EXPLOSION HAZARD.

EMERGENCY OVERVIEW: DUST FROM PARTICULATES MAY BE MECHANICAL IRRITANT TO EYES.

EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF GRAIN DUSTS MAY AFFECT NOSE THROAT, AND LUNGS. MAY FORM

COMBUSTIBLE DUST CONCENTRATION IN AIR; SEE “EXPLOSION HAZARD” BELOW.

EXPLOSION HAZARD: GRAIN IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED NOT HAZARDOUS BUT DUST GENERATED

THROUGH DOWNSTREAM ACTIVITIES THAT MAY REDUCE ITS PARTICLE SIZE (E.G., SHIPPING,

HANDLING, TRANSFER TO BINS, ETC.) MAY CREATE A HAZARDOUS CONDITION.

IF EXPOSED TO AN IGNITION SOURCE, DUST MAY BURN. AIRBORNE DUST IN SUFFICIENT

CONCENTRATIONS WHEN EXPOSED TO AN IGNITION SOURCE MAY FLASH OR, IN A CONFINED

SITUATION, MAY FUEL AN EXPLOSION

FOR AN EXPLOSION TO OCCUR, FOUR CONDITIONS MUST EXIST: FIRST, OXYGEN MUST BE PRESENT. SECOND, THERE MUST BE AN IGNITION SOURCE (E.G. ELECTRICAL SHORT, SPARKS, ETC.). THIRD, THERE MUST BE FUEL (E.G. GRAIN DUST IN SUSPENSION). FOURTH, THERE MUST BE CONTAINMENT OF SUSPENDED GRAIN DUST (I.E. SILO, VESSEL, ETC.). ALTHOUGH AN EXPLOSION WILL NOT OCCUR IF THERE IS NO CONTAINMENT, THE DUST CAN STILL IGNITE, RESULTING IN A FIRE. AS NOTED EXPLOSIONS ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE CONCENTRATION OF THE FUEL (E.G.

SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE: IRRITATION TO THE SKIN, EYES, NOSE OR THROAT MAY OCCUR. SOME PEOPLE MAY OCCASIONALLY EXPERIENCE COUGHING. MEDICAL CONDITIONS GENERALLY AGGRAVATED BY EXPOSURE: ALLERGIES AND RESPIRATORY AILMENTS.
