T 1 <br /> Material Name: Fiber Glass Building and Flexible Duct Insulation Formaldehyde-free, Safety Data Sheet <br /> Antimony trioxide-free ID: 1071 <br /> Section 4-First Aid Measures <br /> First Aid: Inhalation <br /> If dust is inhaled in excess of exposure limits referenced in section 8 of this safety data sheet,remove individual to fresh air. <br /> Drink water to clear throat,and blow nose to remove dust. A saline spray in the nose may help dear any fibers. <br /> First Aid: Skin <br /> Wash gently with soap and water to remove dust and fibers.Alternatively,fibers can be removed from the skin by use of <br /> ordinary masking or wrapping tape.Should irritation persist,seek medical attention. <br /> First Aid: Ingestion <br /> Rinse mouth with water to remove dust and fibers and drink plenty of water to help reduce irritation. If irritation persists,seek <br /> medical attention. <br /> First Aid: Eyes <br /> Do not rub or scratch eyes. Dust particles may cause the eye to be scratched. Flush eyes with large amounts of water until <br /> irritation subsides. If irritation persists,seek medical attention. <br /> First Aid: Ears <br /> Wash exposed skin with soap and water. If irritation develops in the inner ear,seek medical attention. <br /> First Aid: Notes to Physician <br /> Dust from the product may cause mechanical irritation of the eyes,skin,and upper respiratory tract. Treat symptomatically. <br /> Section 5- Fire Fighting Measures <br /> Flash Point: Not applicable Method Used: Not applicable <br /> Upper Flammable Limit(UFL): Not applicable Lower Flammable Limit(LFL): Not applicable <br /> Auto Ignition: Not determined Flammability Classification: Not determined <br /> Rate of Burning: Not determined <br /> General Fire Hazards <br /> There is no potential for spontaneous fire or explosion.Inorganic glass fibers are naturally non-combustible and non- <br /> flammable. <br /> Extinguishing Media <br /> Carbon dioxide(CO2),water,water fog,dry chemical <br /> Fire Fighting Equipment/instructions <br /> No special procedures are expected to be necessary for this product.Normal fire fighting procedures should be followed to <br /> avoid inhalation of smoke and gases. <br /> Section 6 -Accidental Release Measures <br /> Clean-Up Procedures <br /> Pick up large pieces.Vacuum dusts.If sweeping is necessary,use a dust suppressant such as water.Do not dry sweep dust <br /> accumulation.These procedures will help to minimize potential ex osures. <br /> Section 7-Handling and Storage <br /> Handling Procedures <br /> Use protective equipment as described in Section 8 of this safety data sheet when handling uncontained material. Handle in <br /> accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practices. <br /> Storage Procedures <br /> Warehouse storage should be in accordance with package directions,if any.Material should be kept clean,dry,and in original <br /> acka in . <br /> Section 8-Exposure Controls/Personal Protection <br /> The Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA)has not adopted specific occupational exposure standards for <br /> fiber glass. Fiber glass is treated as a nuisance dust and is regulated by OSHA as a particulate not otherwise regulated(total <br /> dust)shown in CFR 1910.1000 Table Z-3. <br /> Respirable fraction 5 mg/m3 <br /> Total dust 15 mg/m3 <br /> JM has adopted the fiber glass industry voluntary Product Stewardship Program(PSP),formerly the NAIMA-OSHA Health and <br /> Safety Partnership Program(HSPP).Under the PSP,JM recommends that exposures be limited to the voluntary concentration <br /> of 1 f/cc TWA for fibers longer than 5 microns with a diameter less than 3 microns.This will help minimize potential irritation <br /> effects.The PSP also includes the PPE recommendations described below. <br /> Page 2 of 5 Issue Date:06/03/2009 Revision:1.0006 <br />
