Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Eyes: Immediately flush eye(s) with plenty of clean water for at least 15 minutes, while holding the eyelid(s) open. Beyond flushing, do not attempt to remove material from the eye(s). Contact a physician if irritation persists or later develops
Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. Dust in throat and nasal passages should clear spontaneously. Contact a physician if irritation persists or later develops
Skin: Wash with cool water and a pH-neutral soap or mild detergent intended for use on skin. Seek medical treatment in all cases of prolonged direct exposure to wet product or prolonged wet skin exposure to dry product
Ingestion: Do not induce vomiting. If person is conscious, give large quantity of water. Get immediate medical attention
Fire-fighting measures
Electrofurnace slag does not present fire or explosion hazards. Fires involving ERF slag may be extinguished by any means consistent with other substances involved.
Accidental release measures
Appropriate measures should be taken in order to avoid spillage. Cleanup personnel should use appropriate personal protection equipment to avoid inhalation and skin/eye contact with the dust that can be generated.
Use appropriate tools to collect the spilled material and put it in appropriate storage areas.
