If dust material gets into the eyes, flush the eyes with an approved flushing system and seek medical attention. Before smoking or eating, clean hands thoroughly. Keep the work site clean and dispose of all dust and particles in containers approved for flammable materials.Refer to the dust handling instructions in this publication for correct disposal of the dust.
