Exposure guidelines Occupational exposure to nuisance dust (total and respirable) and respirable crystalline silica
should be monitored and controlled. Exposure limits for CRYSTALLINE SILICA – The US OSHA
exposure limits 8 hour TWA for CRYSTALLINE SILICA (QUARTZ) are calculated from the
following equations: 30/(%SiO2+2) mg/m3 for total dust; and 10/(%SiO2+2) mg/m3 for the
respirable fraction.
*Testing conducted by Georgia-Pacific did not detect respirable crystalline silica during activities
associated with the normal use of this product; however, jobsite air monitoring should be
conducted to determine actual exposure when permissible exposure limits may be exceeded.
Appropriate engineering
controls
When using product, provide local and general exhaust ventilation to keep airborne dust
concentrations below exposure limits. Use wet methods, if appropriate, to reduce the generation of
dust.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Ensure compliance with OSHA’s PPE standard
(29 CFR 1910.132 and .133) for eye and face protection. Safety shower/eye wash fountain must
be readily available in the workplace area (29 CFR 1910.151(c)).
Skin protection
Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
Other Impervious protective clothing and gloves recommended to prevent drying or irritation of skin.
Ensure compliance with OSHA’s PPE standards (29 CFR 1910.132 (general) and 138 (hand
protection)). Safety shower/eye wash fountain is recommended in the workplace area (29 CFR
1910.151 (c)).
Respiratory protection A NIOSH approved dust mask or filtering facepiece is recommended in poorly ventilated areas or
when permissible exposure limits may be exceeded. Respirators should be selected by and used
under the direction of a trained health and safety professional following requirements found in
OSHA’s respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and ANSI’s standard for respiratory protection
(Z88.2).
Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
General hygiene
considerations
Keep away from food and drink. Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as
washing after handling the material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash
work clothing and protective equipment to remove contaminants. Contaminated work clothing

Respiratory or skin sensitization
Respiratory sensitizationNot classified.
Skin sensitization May cause an allergic skin reaction.
Germ cell mutagenicity Not classified.
Carcinogenicity Not expected to be hazardous by OSHA criteria.
Exposure to respirable crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational
sources is listed by IARC and NTP as a lung carcinogen. Prolonged exposure to respirable
crystalline silica has been known to cause silicosis, a lung disease, which may be disabling.
While there may be a factor of individual susceptibility to a given exposure to a respirable silica
dust, the risk of contracting silicosis and the severity of the disease is clearly related to the
amount of respirable crystalline silica exposure and the length of time (usually years) of exposure.
