None chemically modified ores are not classified under the EU REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006. However, such naturally occurring ores are regulated under the EU CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC) and the UN Global Harmonized System Of Classification and Labelling “(GHS)- a SDS mandatory if considered hazardous”. The SDS is issued for responsible care purposes.

FIRST AIDS MEASURES
DESCRIPTION OF FIRST AID MEASURES GENERAL SKIN CONTACT
EYE CONTACT
INGESTION
As a general rule, in case of doubt or if symptoms persist, always call a doctor. Never induce swallowing in an unconscious person. If skin contact occurs, remove contaminated clothing and shoes, and then flush skin with plenty of running water to remove any dust adhering to the skin. Clean contaminated shoes and clothing before re-use. Remove material by using immediately clean water for 15 minutes holding eyelids open. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Seek medical advice if irritation occurs and persists If swallowed, rinse mouth with water. Remove dentures if any. Move exposed person to fresh air. Keep exposed person warm and at rest. If the person is conscious, give small quantities of water to drink. Stop if the exposed person feels sick as vomiting

INHALATION
Last Print: octobre 30, 2012
may be dangerous. If vomiting occurs, the head should be kept low so that vomit does not enter the lungs. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as collar, tie, belt or waistband. If inhaled and breathing is difficult, remove exposed person from contaminated area to fresh air. Keep the person warm and at rest. If not breathing, if breathing is irregular or if respiratory arrest occurs, provide artificial respiration or oxygen by trained personnel. It might be dangerous to the person providing aid to give mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Get medical attention. If unconscious, place in recovery position and get medical attention immediately. Maintain an open airway. Loosen tight clothing such as collar, tie, belt or waistband.
INDICATION OF ANY IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION ANS SPECIAL TREATMENT NEEDED Treat symptomatically. If large quantities are ingested or inhaled, contact poison treatment specialist immediately.

ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURE
PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS / EMERGENCY PROCEDURES NON-EMERGENCY PERSONNEL
EMERGENCY RESPONDERS
No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unauthorized personnel and visitors away. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Use suitable protective equipment and prevent the generation of dust. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear respiratory protection equipment to avoid breathing dust. (See section 8). See Non-Emergency personnel procedure
ENVIRONMENTAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Keep away from drains as large quantities could clog drains. If possible, vacuum dry spillages, if not, wet spillages with water to reduce dust production before collection. Avoid dust generating and handling operations. (See section 13).
CLEAN-UP PROCEDURES
Vacuum or sweep up dry material and place in a container for reuse. Avoid creating excessive airborne dust. Cleanup personnel need to wear approved respiratory protection (air-purifying or air-supply), gloves, long sleeved clothing and goggles to prevent irritation from contact and inhalation. Uncontaminated material can be re-used after careful cleaning. Waste can be treated in on-site or offsite waste water treatment plants. Any resulting solid waste that cannot be re-used should be disposed of according to the local laws and regulations. Also see Directive 2008/50/EC.
OTHER INFORMATION
Seek specialist advice for decontamination procedure.
REFERENCE TO OTHER SECTIONS
See Section 1 for emergency contact information See Section 8 for information on appropriate personal protective equipment. See Section 13 for additional waste treatment information

HANDLING AND STORAGE
HANDLING REQUIREMENTS
Wash face, hands and fore-arms thoroughly after handling, Avoid dust generation. If dust is generated, avoid breathing dust. For good industrial hygiene purposes, wear personal protective equipment required for the work place. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from a compatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Maintain a clean work place to prevent dust accumulation. Use filters and exhaust ventilation to reduce dust especially when crushing. Recycle all waste where possible. If contaminated, dispose of according to the local laws and regulations.
PACKAGING AND TRANSPORT
Convention bulk handling techniques should be used when packaging and transporting the materials. Use original container as much as possible.
STORAGE CONDITIONS
Store in a cool dry, well-ventilated area. Ensure containers are adequately labelled and use appropriate containment to avoid environmental contamination.

ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
PERSONAL PROTECTION EQUIPMENT HAND PROTECTION
The use of protective gloves is recommended while handling the product.
EYE PROTECTION
Wear protective safety goggles when dust generation is likely.
SKIN PROTECTION
Protect skin from exposure with usual work ware. Good personal hygiene is particularly recommended.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION
If exposure is likely to result in the exceedance of OEL concentrations, the following table specifies suitable respiratory protection. As a general advice, a mask with P2 filter should be suitable and recommended.
