Emergency overview Sawing, sanding or machining wood or wood products can generate dust. Wood dust may

ignite or form explosive mixture with air. Wood dust or asphalt may be irritating to eyes, skin

or respiratory system. If heated beyond 200°F, or if the product catches fire, product will emit

toxic fumes and/or gases. Avoid inhaling asphalt fumes and/or gases.

2. Hazards Identification

respiration. If persistent irritation, severe coughing or breathing difficulty occurs, get medical

attention.

space

Ingestion If wood or wood dust is swallowed, get immediate medical attention or advice -- Do not induce

vomiting.

space

General fire hazards Asphalt impregnated and/or coated wood, if heated or catches fire, will emit irritating fumes

and/or gases. Wood is combustible when exposed to heat or flame. Wood dusts may form

explosive mixtures with air in the presence of an ignition source. An airborne dust

concentration of 40 g/m3 of air is often used as the lower explosion limit (LEL) for wood dust.

space Extinguishing media space Suitable extinguishing media Use methods for the surrounding fire. Protection of firefighters Protective equipment and precautions for firefighters Firefighters should wear full protective clothing including self contained breathing apparatus. Partially burned dust is especially hazardous if dispersed into the air. Wet down to reduce likelihood of ignition or dispersion. Remove burned or wet dust to open, secure area after fire is extinguished.
