# Section 6. Accidental release measures <table><tr><th>For non-emergency personnel</th><th>No action shall be taken involving any personal risk or without suitable training. Evacuate surrounding areas. Keep unnecessary and unprotected personnel from entering. Do not touch or walk through spilled material. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Provide adequate ventilation. Wear appropriate respirator when ventilation is inadequate. Put on appropriate personal protective equipment.</th></tr><tr><td>For emergency responders</td><td>If specialized clothing is required to deal with the spillage, take note of any information in Section 8 on suitable and unsuitable materials. See also the information in "For non- emergency personnel".</td></tr><tr><td>Environmental precautions</td><td>Avoid dispersal of spilled material and runoff and contact with soil, waterways, drains and sewers. Inform the relevant authorities if the product has caused environmental pollution (sewers, waterways, soil or air).</td></tr><tr><td colspan="2">Methods and materials for containment and cleaning up</td></tr><tr><td>Small spill</td><td>Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Dilute with water and mop up if water-soluble. Alternatively, or if water-insoluble, absorb with an inert dry material and place in an appropriate waste disposal container. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor.</td></tr><tr><td>Large spill</td><td>Stop leak if without risk. Move containers from spill area. Approach release from upwind. Prevent entry into sewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Wash spillages into an effluent treatment plant or proceed as follows. Contain and collect spillage with non-combustible, absorbent material e.g. sand, earth, vermiculite or diatomaceous earth and place in container for disposal according to local regulations (see Section 13). Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Contaminated absorbent material may pose the same hazard as the s…

# Section 2. Hazards identification Supplemental label elements WARNING: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Adequate ventilation required when sanding or abrading the dried film. If Adequate ventilation cannot be provided wear an approved particulate respirator (NIOSH approved). Follow respirator manufacturer's directions for respirator use. DELAYED EFFECTS FROM LONG TERM OVEREXPOSURE. Abrading or sanding of the dry film may release Crystalline Silica which has been shown to cause lung damage and cancer under long term exposure. Please refer to the SDS for additional information. Keep out of reach of children. Do not transfer contents to other containers for storage. Hazards not otherwise classified : None known. ## Section 3. Composition/information on ingredients Substance/mixture Other means of identification : Mixture : Not available. ## CAS number/other identifiers <table><tr><th>Ingredient name</th><th>% by weight</th><th>CAS number</th></tr><tr><td>Calcium Carbonate</td><td>>25 <50</td><td>471-34-1</td></tr><tr><td>Wollastonite</td><td><10</td><td>[redacted postal code]-17-0</td></tr><tr><td>Crystalline Silica, respirable powder</td><td><1</td><td>[redacted postal code]-60-7</td></tr></table> Any concentration shown as a range is to protect confidentiality or is due to batch variation. There are no additional ingredients present which, within the current knowledge of the supplier and in the concentrations applicable, are classified and hence require reporting in this section. Occupational exposure limits, if available, are listed in Section 8. ## Section 4. First aid measures <table><tr><th>Eye contact</th><th>: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Check for and remove any contact lenses. Continue to rinse for at least 10 minutes. Get medical attention.</th></tr><tr><td>Inhalation</td…

# Section 12. Ecological information Other adverse effects : No known significant effects or critical hazards. ## Section 13. Disposal considerations Disposal methods : The generation of waste should be avoided or minimized wherever possible. Disposal of this product, solutions and any by-products should at all times comply with the requirements of environmental protection and waste disposal legislation and any regional local authority requirements. Dispose of surplus and non-recyclable products via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Waste should not be disposed of untreated to the sewer unless fully compliant with the requirements of all authorities with jurisdiction. Waste packaging should be recycled. Incineration or landfill should only be considered when recycling is not feasible. This material and its container must be disposed of in a safe way.

# Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection <table><tr><th></th><th>CAS #</th><th>Exposure limits</th></tr><tr><td>None.</td><td></td><td></td></tr></table> Biological exposure indices (United States) No exposure indices known. Biological exposure indices (Canada) No exposure indices known. Biological exposure indices (Mexico) No exposure indices known. ## Appropriate engineering controls Environmental exposure controls ## Individual protection measures : If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. Hygiene measures : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels. : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. ## Eye/face protection ## Skin protection Hand protection Body protection Other skin protection Respiratory protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: safety glasses with side- shields. : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handlin…

Who, how, and why

Rosie, the contractors' AI Admin & Risk Assistant, works across the operational workflows to take care of the busy work, make capture in the field effortless, surface risk, and create business-ready outputs—without removing human judgment.

Rosie was grounded in a curated, human-created, SALUS-verified source library and retrieved relevant material for each question. SALUS published the English answer exactly as generated after duplicate screening. Francis Langlois reviewed the English content.

Rosie was offered as a free tool so people could ask real workplace-safety questions and receive immediate guidance. SALUS is preserving these human-requested answers because the same questions recur across jobsites and safety teams, and because the resulting threads can help people compare experience, clarify guidance and find relevant supporting material.
