2.1 Classification of the substance or mixture

Not classified as hazardous. Dust is not generated under normal use but avoid inhalation of high concentrations of dust if generated by mechanical treatment i.e. cutting, grinding or surface treatment above exposure limits given in section 8 below. The dust may also contain some respirable free crystalline silica that may be inhaled and remain lodged in the alveoli areas of the lungs. The long term effect of prolonged exposure can be silicosis, which can lead to lung cancer. Under the REACH regulations Article 31 it is the responsibility of the producer of a substance/mixture to provide a safety data sheet if it is considered dangerous. These products are not classified as dangerous. It is still necessary to comply with COSHH requirements, which this Safety Data sheet aims to achieve. Eye Contact. If dust generated, dust will cause irritation and discomfort by abrasion, as with “grit in eye”. Skin Contact. Prolonged or repeated contact to dust may cause dryness and abrade the skin. Manual Handling. Blocks will vary in weight and size. Assess the manual handling risks to minimise injuries. Poor posture when bending or twisting can cause excessive strain.
