HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Wood dust:
Dust and splinters may cause irritations of the nose and throat, eyes and skin. Some woods may also be sensitises and some people may develop allergic dermatitis or asthma. Inhalation of wood dust may increase the risk of nasal and paranasal cancers. Formaldehyde gas can be irritating to the nose and throat, eyes and skin. Not applicable for OSB/4 TOP (formaldehyde free glued)! 4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Wood dust:
Swallowed: Drink a glass of water. Eye: Flush with flowing water for at least 15 minutes and if symptoms persist, seek immediate medical attention. Skin: Wash with mild soap and running water. Inhaled: Leave the dusty area. Go in a area with fresh air. Leave the affected area. Go in a area with fresh air. 5. FIRE – FIGHTINHG MEASURES
Flash Point:
Volume): Special Fire Fighting Procedures None & Equipment: Unusual Explosion Wood dust from cutting operations, is a strong to severe explosion hazard if dust ”cloud” contacts an ignition source. Partially burned dust is especially hazardous if dispersed in air. 212 deg. F(=100°C) has been suggested as the upper temperature limit for continuous exposure of wood without risk of ignition. (Wood dust may require still a lower temperature. White pine flour as “cloud” in air requires 0,04 j minimum energy for ignition and can produce an explosion pressure of 113 psig maximum (0,8 MPa). 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Wood dust:
Sweep or vacuum wood dust for recovery or disposal. Avoiding dusting conditions. Provide good ventilation. Safety Data Sheet

7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions
The boards should be stored in dry and well ventilated areas away from Avoid hot, humid storage or contact with drying oils (spontaneous heating is possible). Partially burned or scorched board can be hazardous to store. Avoid generation of explosive levels of wood dust in the air. Follow good housekeeping practices; clean up areas where wood dust. Avoid the excessive accumulation of this combustible material. Follow good hygienic practice. Wash frequently, wear clean work clothing. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROL / PERSONAL PROTECTION
All work with these boards should be carried out in such a way as to minimize the generation of dust, gas and
vapours. Under factory conditions, sawing, drilling, sanding etc should be done with equipment fitted with exhaust
devices capable of removing dust, gas and vapour at source. Hand power tools should only be used in well
ventilated areas so as to avoid the spread of dust, gas and vapour. Storage and work areas should be well
ventilated. Work areas should be cleaned at least daily and dust removed by vacuum cleaning or wet sweeping
method.
Effects of Overexposure:
Avoid prolonged or repeating breathing of wood dust in air. Repeated exposures (even below 5 mg/m³) to certain wood dusts can produce allergic responses in a few sensitive individuals. Avoid repeated or prolonged contact with the skin. Id allergy such as conjunctivitis, retinitis, dermatitis, asthma, or bronchitis develops, it may be necessary to remove the sensitised worker from further exposure to wood dust. Personal Protective Equipment (during processing) Respiratory Protection (Specify Approved respirator under dusty conditions recommended. Type): Protective gloves: Recommended to reduce skin contact, except where moving machinery parts expose fingers to hazards. Wash with mild soap and water. Do not scratch or rub the skin if it becomes irritated. Wash work clothes regularly and separate from other clothes. The requirements of the “TA Luft” or other locally valid legal regulations are to be kept. Due to the potential of wood dust when suspended in air, precautions should be taken to prevent sparks or other ignition sources in ventilation equipment. Use of totally enclosed motors is recommended. 9. PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
physical state:
Butyl Acetate = 1):
10. STABILITY AND REACTIVITY:
Stability:
Decomposition Thermal-oxidative degradation of wood produces irritating and toxic fumes and gases, incl. CO, aldehydes and organic acids. Wood dust is extremely combustible. Keep in a cool, dry place away from 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
Oral:
Chronic effects of Skin contact with wood dust are not fully known, and may vary from one wood to another. Safety Data Sheet

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION:
In consideration of production and use of the material we can assume that no significant environmental impact of air
or water will arise. All the constitutions of the termite treatment preservation Permethrin (only OSB/3 T) are listed in
the Australian Inventory of Chemical Substances (AICS).
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Waste Disposal Methods:
Generally wood and wood products can be disposed of by incineration or in a local landfill. However, it is the users responsibility to insure wastes are disposed of in accordance with all valid laws. 14. TRANSPORT INFORMATION:
No special transport requirements are considered necessary.
15. REGULATORY INFORMATION:
Marking after EEC directive:
