TYPES OF HAZARD/ EXPOSURE	ACUTE HAZARDS/ SYMPTOMS	PREVENTION	FIRST AID/ FIRE FIGHTING
FIRE	Combustible. Gives off irritating or toxic fumes (or gases) in a fire.	NO open flames.	Powder, alcohol-resistant foam, water spray, carbon dioxide.
EXPLOSION	Finely dispersed particles form explosive mixtures in air.	Prevent deposition of dust; closed system, dust explosion-proof electrical equipment and lighting.

EXPOSURE		PREVENT DISPERSION OF DUST!
•INHALATION	Cough. Sore throat.	Local exhaust or breathing protection.	Fresh air, rest.
•SKIN	Redness.	Protective gloves.	Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap.
•EYES	Redness.	Safety goggles	Rinse with plenty of water (remove contact lenses if easily possible).
•INGESTION	Sore throat.	Do not eat, drink, or smoke during work.	Rinse mouth. Give one or two glasses of water to drink.
