3. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
Not classified as hazardous according to ISO. Natural Mineral found on the beaches of India. The product is dominantly garnet (almandine variety) which is a Non-Hazardous substance. Traces of dust in the unused product are from calcium carbonate which is also Non-Dangerous and Non-Hazardous.
Particulars:
Eye: Solid or dust is moderate eye irritant due to its abrasive action.
Inhalation: May be regarded as nuisance dust but can be irritating if inhaled at high concentrations and may cause symptoms such as coughing and sneezing.
Skin: Non hazardous.
Ingestion: There are no known hazards caused by accidental ingestion of small amount such as might occur during normal handling. Ingestion of larger quantities might cause irritation of the gastro-intestinal system as a result of abrasive action.
Radiation: Not Detectable above background levels
4. FIRST AID MEASURES
Eye: Hold eye as open and rinse continuously with a gentle stream of clean running water for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention if any irritation or soreness of eye persists.
Inhalation: Remove from source of exposure into fresh air and seek medical attention if any symptoms persist.
Skin: No specific first aid is required for skin contact. Remove clothing &wash skin with soap and /or water. Seek medical attention if any irritation or soreness of the skin develops.
Ingestion: First aid is unlikely to be required but if necessary rinse mouth with water ensuring that the mouth wash is not swallowed and seek medical attention as a precautionary measure if large amounts have been ingested.
5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
This is a non-combustible material. Use any protective equipment and extinguishing agent are suitable for the primary cause of fire.
6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
Wear safety equipment for normal handling, if possible sweep or vacuum the material to avoid generating dust, recycle/ reuse or dispose to landfill subject to local regulations.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
