NO. Classification Alfalfa Pellets 100 % N/A Not Classified This material is made from natural products, and may contain naturally occurring microorganisms. Proper precautions are advised to prevent infection of open wounds, inhalation of excessive amounts of dust, and eye irritation. The proper hygiene practices necessary to prevent health hazards from naturally occurring substances such as soil, wood, etc should be observed. Description of First Aid Measures Inhalation Section 4: First-Aid Measures Move to fresh air. Call a physician if symptoms develop or persists. Skin Contact Eye Contact Ingestion Wash off with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Rinse with water. Get medical attention if irritation develops and persists. Rinse mouth. Get medical attention if symptoms occur. Most Important Symptoms and Effects Both Acute and Delayed General Ensure that medical personnel are aware of the material(s) involved, and take precautions. Inhalation Prolonged contact with large amounts of dust may cause mechanical irritation. Skin Contact Skin contact with large amounts of dust may cause mechanical irritation. Eye Contact Contact may cause irritation due to mechanical abrasion. Ingestion Direct contact with eyes may cause temporary irritation. Page 1
Section 5: Fire-Fighting Measures Suitable Extinguishing Media Water fog, Foam, Dry chemical powder, Carbon dioxide (CO2). Unsuitable Extinguishing Media Do not use water jet as an extinguisher, as this will spread the fire. Fire Hazard: No unusual fire or explosion hazards noted. Specific hazards arising from the chemical During fire, gases hazardous to health may be formed. Special protective equipmentand When heated to decomposition, emits toxic fumes and toxic gases. precautions for firefighters Self-contained breathing apparatus and full protective clothing must be worn incase of fire. Personal Precautions Protective Equipment Environmental Precautions Section 6: Accidental Release Measures Keep unnecessary personnel away. For personal protection, see section 8 of the SDS. Prevent entry to sewers and public waters. Avoid release to the environment. Methods for Cleaning Up Stop the flow of material, if this is without risk. Following product recovery, flush area with water.for waste disposal, see section 13 of the SDS. Section 7: Handling And Storage Precautions for Safe Handling Observe good industrial hygiene practices. Conditions for Safe Storage, Including Any Incompatibilities Store in closed packaging, cool, dry and well ventilated place. Store away from incompatible materials (see section 10 of the SDS). Section 8: Exposure Controls/Personal Protection Control Parameters Biological Limit Values No Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs) have been established for this product or its chemical components. No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s). Appropriate Engineering Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation Controls rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation,or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level. Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Skin protection Hand protection Other If dust generates, wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves. Wear suitable protective clothing. Page 2
Respiratory protection Thermal hazards General hygiene In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary. 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.
