First-aid measures
When contacting a physician, take this SDS with you.
After significant accidental inhalation:
Move person to fresh air. Dust in throat and nasal passages should clear spontaneously. Contact a physician if irritation persists or later develops or if discomfort, coughing or other symptoms persist.
After contact with eyes:
Do not rub eye as additional cornea damage is possible as a result of mechanical stress. Remove any contact lenses and open the eyelid(s) widely to flush eye(s) immediately by thoroughly rinsing with plenty of clean water for at least 45 minutes to remove all particles. If possible, use isotonic water (0.9% NaCl). Contact a specialist of occupational medicine or an eye specialist.
After skin contact:
For dry product, remove and rinse abundantly with water. For wet product, wash skin with water. Remove contaminated clothing, footwear, watches, etc. and clean thoroughly before re-using them. Seek medical treatment in all cases of irritation or burns.

Dry product: Use dry cleanup methods that do not cause airborne dispersion, e.g.:
- vacuum cleaner (Industrial portable units, equipped with high efficiency particulate filters) or
- wet the product and remove as described below.
When cleaning without dust development is not possible, ensure that the workers wear the appropriate personal protective equipment.
Wet product: Clean up wet product and place in a container. Allow material to dry and solidify before disposal.

Bulk product should be stored in silos that are waterproof, dry (internal condensation minimised), clean and protected from contamination.
Engulfment hazard: To prevent burial or suffocation, do not enter a confined space, such as a silo, bin, bulk truck, or other storage container or vessel that stores or contains cement without taking the proper security measures. The product can build-up or adhere to the walls of a confined space. The product can release, collapse or fall unexpectedly.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Exposure limit values (Germany):
As cement: OEL total inhalable dust: 5 mg/m³ 8h TWA
General dust:
OEL inhalable: 10 mg/m³ 8h TWA
OEL alveolar fraction: 3 mg/m³ 8h TWA
Occupational exposure controls
General:
Do not get in eyes or on skin. Wear protective clothing. Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Do not eat, drink or smoke when working with the product.
Immediately after working with the product, workers should wash or shower to remove dust. Remove contaminated clothing, footwear, watches, etc. and clean thoroughly before re-using them.
