Beryllium-containing materials have been listed by the National Toxicology Program Annual Report on Carcinogens, and the Inter- national Agenc Researcr yfo Cancen ho r Monograp potentiaa s ha l carcinogen (cancer producing agent). Handling of solid shapes presents no dermatitis or skin absorption problem. SECTION VI — EMPLOYEE PROTECTION___________ Respiratory Protection: NIOSH approved high efficiency "cartridge or^uppiied air mask is required if Beryllium concentrationr iai n s exceeds OSHA standards. Eye Protection: None required except as related to normal operations. Protective Gloves: None normally required. Other Protective Equipment; Personnel performing operations where there are exposures to dust, mists, or fumes shoul e providedb . * d full-body protectiv . e ^ clothing. =_.. Ventilation: Provide adequate local exhaust ventilation when performing operations suc machinings ha , grinding, laser trimming, sand blasting, chemical.etching, etc. where respirabte dusts, mists, or fumes are generated. Powdered materials must.be stored in sealed containers; transfers must be made in ventilated hoods. Operations generating airborne materia lsampler musai e tb determino dt e exposure levels.

SECTION VII — FIRST AID Skin Contact: Properly clean any contaminated clothing. Wash body especially under fold skif sd o finger nan - nails. Cove y operan n wound avoio st d infections. Dermatitis from handlin usualls gi y limited to abrasion. Eye Contact: Flush eye with Boric Acid Solution for approximately 20 minutes. * fnhalatfon: Remove from source of exposure, have sinus cavities flushed by qualified physician. ingestfon: Fired, solid Beryllium Oxide Ceramics are indigestible. ___________SECTION VI M FIR— EXPLOSIOD EAN N DATA______ Flash Point (method used); N/A __________________________________ _____N/A____L LE Flammabl ; e_..,.UE Limits_L: _____N/ A •3uishing Media Water ______________________________ • pa2l Fire Fighting Procedures None Unusual Rre and Explosion Hazards None ,n SECTION IX — SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS _ fcautions for Handling and Storing: Store in closed containers. Handling solid Beryllium Oxide ceramics is harmless so long as they are kept dust-free. Avoid any operations which would create respirable dust or mists. Spill or Leak Precautions; Clean any loose material usjhg wet cleaning or properly equipped vacuum cleaner supplied with Hepa filters. Personnel involved in cleanup should wear proper~respirator and protective.clothing.
