Section 2
SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Manual Handling: Handling the veneered product without gloves may give rise to splinters. Wood Dust: If the product is sanded or sawn, wood dust is produced which may cause irritation of the nose, throat, eyes and skin. Wood dust may also be a sensitiser, and some individuals may develop allergic dermatitis or asthma. Prolonged inhalation of wood dust increases the risk of nasal and para nasal sinus cancers. Exposure to wood dust produced by machining may result in the following health effects: Swallowed: Unlikely to occur in significant quantities. Eye Contact: Wood dust may cause temporary discomfort. Skin Contact: Wood dust may cause itching and occasionally a rash, depending on the individual and the species of wood. Inhalation: Wood dust may irritate the throat and lungs, particularly in people with upper respiratory tract or chest complaints. A temporary asthmatic reaction may occur. Chronic: Repeated exposure to uncontrolled wood dust over many years increases the risk of allergies, dermatitis, asthma and/or chronic nose or throat irritation in some people. Prolonged inhalation of fine wood dust also increases the risk of nasal or para nasal sinus cancers. If the work practices described in this MSDS are followed, no chronic health effects are anticipated.
