HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview :
Copper slag is solid angular to sub-angular granules. It is not toxic material, but a health hazard may occur due to the abrasion of this material. Proper safety equipment especially eye glasses, gloves and respiratory shield could decrease the risk of health hazard.
Potential Health Effects
Eyes
:
Abrasion injuries possible if safety glasses are not worn. Contact lens use may be dangerous when handling this product.
Skin
:
Abrasion injuries possible occur when direct contact with the skin.
Ingestion
:
Toxic effects will not occur.
Inhalation
:
Fine particulates (PM-10) in the form of dust during loading/unloading, processing and packaging.
Chronic Effects
:
Respiratory illness as a result of long-term exposure to particulates is possible. NIOSH- approved particulate respirators should be used during handling operations. Existing disorder increases risk of discomfort and injury.
FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye Contact
:
Flush thoroughly with cool running water.
Skin Contact
:
Follow procedures appropriate to abrasion or trauma injuries.
Inhalation
:
Follow procedures appropriate to dust inhalation.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Procedure for Clean Up
If material spills in land, material should be swept or vacuumed into appropriate container. If material spills in water, material should be dredged into appropriate container.
Personal Precaution
Use NIOSH-approved respiratory equipment, approved garments, and helmet during cleaning up spilled materials.
Environmental Precaution
Not persistent in the environment.
HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Precaution
Follow good housekeeping practices to reduce airborne emissions. Use approved respiratory protection and clothing in abrasive blast environments.
Storage Precaution
Material should be placed on waterproof floor. Good housekeeping techniques such as vacuuming should be used to remove dust accumulations and to prevent the generation of airborne dust. Avoid the use of compressed air for removing settled dust, avoiding inhalation of dust and contact with eyes. Store the material in general dry storage, ambient air temperature and pressure. In accordance with preventing of pollution, any spillage should not be discharge into the environment. Symbol and emergency response equipments should be provided in accordance with applicable regulations.
Work/Hygienic Practices
Always practice good personal hygiene. Refrain from eating, drinking, or smoking in work areas. Thoroughly wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking in appropriate, designated areas.
