EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTIONOccupational exposure limits

Ingredient name: Occupational exposure limits:

Asphalt: ACGIH TLV (United States, 1/2005). TWA: 0.5 mg/m³ 8 hour(s). Form: Fume.

Contains Hydrogen Sulfide: ACGIH TLV (United States, 1/2005).

STEL: 21 mg/m³ 15 minute(s). STEL: 15 ppm 15 minute(s). TWA: 14 mg/m³ 8 hour(s). TWA: 10 ppm 8 hour(s).

OSHA PEL Z2 (United States, 8/1997). AMP: 50 ppm 10 minute(s). CEIL: 20 ppm.

Control measures: Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapors below their respective occupational exposure limits.

Hygiene measures: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.

13

Personal protection

Eyes: Do not get in eyes. Hot material: Chemical splash goggles or full face shield. Cold material: None required; however, use of protective eye wear is good industrial practice.

Skin and body: Avoid contact with skin and clothing. Thermal resistant clothing will be required when handling hot products. Wear clothing and footwear that cannot be penetrated by chemicals or oil. Wash thoroughly after handling.

Respiratory: Use only with adequate ventilation. Avoid breathing vapor or mist. Air supplied respiratory protection should be worn whenever it is required for the worker’s face to be within 3 feet of an open hatch.

If operating conditions cause high vapor concentrations or TLV is exceeded, use NIOSH certified supplied-air respirator.

Hands: Thermal resistant clothing will be required when handling hot products. Wear gloves that cannot be penetrated by chemicals or oil.

The correct choice of protective gloves depends upon the chemicals being handled, the conditions of work and use, and the condition of the gloves (even the best chemically resistant glove will break down after repeated chemical exposures). Most gloves provide only a short time of protection before they must be discarded and replaced. Because specific work environments and material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each intended application. Gloves should therefore be chosen in consultation with the supplier/manufacturer and with a full assessment of the working conditions.

Consult your supervisor or S.O.P. for special handling directions.

Consult local authorities for acceptable exposure limits.

Other information

Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) gas may accumulate in storage tanks of bulk transport compartments containing this material. Contact with eyes causes painful conjunctivitis, sensitivity to light, tearing and clouding of vision. Inhalation of low concentrations causes a runny nose with a loss of sense of smell, labored breathing and shortness of breath. Direct contact with skin causes pain and redness. Other symptoms of exposure include profuse salivation, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, giddiness, headache, dizziness, confusion, rapid breathing, rapid heart rate, sweating, weakness, sudden collapse, unconsciousness and death due to respiratory paralysis. Cardiac neurological effects have also been reported. Prolonged breathing (greater than one hour) of concentrations of H2S around 50 ppm can produce eye and respiratory tract irritation. Levels of 250 to 600 ppm will result in fluid in the lungs, and concentrations around 1,000 ppm will cause unconsciousness and death in a short period of time. Since the sense of smell rapidly becomes insensitive to this toxic, colorless gas, odor cannot be relied upon as an indicator of concentrations of the gas. Always exercise caution when working around closed containers.

Asphalt fume condensate generated under laboratory conditions has produced positive results in the Ames mutagenicity test. However, asphalt fume condensate collected in the field under actual field conditions has tested negative.

Laboratory-generated asphalt fume condensate has been shown to produce skin tumors in mice when applied to their skin repeatedly for prolonged periods of time over the entire course of their lifetime. The fume condensate used in these studies was generated using unrealistically high temperatures and vacuum conditions.

Further studies have shown that the chemical composition and physical properties of laboratory-generated fume differ markedly from the composition and properties of fume generated in the field under actual workplace conditions. These differences indicate that the health hazards attributed to laboratory-generated fume are not representative of actual workplace hazards.

There is no evidence that neat asphalt is carcinogenic. Therefore, intermittent or occasional skin contact with petroleum asphalt is not expected to have serious health effects as long as good personal hygiene measures, such as those outlined in this material safety data sheet, are followed.

No carcinogenic effects have been observed in laboratory animals during lifetime inhalation studies with asphalt aerosol or fume. Chronic inflammatory changes to the respiratory tract have been observed in exposed animals. These changes include bronchitis, pneumonitis, and pulmonary congestion, which are similar to the inflammatory effects seen following chronic inhalation exposure to other types of non-specific respiratory irritants.

Health monitoring studies of lung cancer among asphalt workers have yielded contradictory results. While some studies are negative, others are positive but confounded by worker co-exposure to other potential lung carcinogens such as cigarette smoke and coal tar.

The International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has concluded that there is inadequate evidence to classify asphalt as carcinogenic to humans.

ECOLOGICAL INFORMATIONEcotoxicity: No testing has been performed by the manufacturer.

DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONSWaste information: Avoid contact of spilled material and

runoff with soil and surface waterways.Consult an environmental professional to determine if local, regional or national regulations would classify spilled or contaminated materials as hazardous waste. Use only approved transporters, recyclers, treatment, storage or disposal facilities. Dispose of in accordance with all applicable local and national regulations.

Consult your local or regional authorities.

PREPARE AND INSPECT THE TRUCK FOR LOADING- The driver will pull his truck under the rack into the proper

position. Having the driver position the truck such that the loading swing can easily go into the truck. After the truck is in the correct position under the rack, check the following:

a. As the driver exits the truck, ensure that he is wearing the proper Personal Protective Equipment. If not, take action to ensure driver has these on. The loading process cannot proceed until this is done.

b. Ensure that the driver has shut off the motor and removed keys form the truck. Loading is not to proceed with the truck motor running.

c. Ensure that the truck has been properly chocked and attaches ground cable to his truck, if applicable.

d. The driver is not allowed in the truck during loading.

- Lower the loading ramp.

- Open the top hatch on the truck, inspect the truck and insert the loading swing:

a. Open the dome cover and inspect the truck to determine its suitability for loading the product requested.

b. Be aware that hazardous fumes and vapors may come form the truck. Keep your face at least two feet from the dome area when opening it.

- An acceptable truck:

1. Is Empty. A small strip of product from the last load, approximately one foot wide is considered ‘empty’. This strip is known as the ‘heel’.

2. Hauled a compatible product last:

a. The truck is usually coated inside with the last product hauled. Check the loading ticket for the last product loaded for the truck.

b. If the “Last Load” hauled to be incompatible with the product to be loaded in the truck, you may refuse to load the truck. Contact your supervisor.

31


3. Is Dry. There is to be NO STANDING WATER in the truck prior to loading it with hot asphalt. If a small amount of moisture is present from condensation, then loading may proceed slowly until the moisture has boiled off.

- Insert the loading swing into the truck. Ensure that the end of the swing is far enough into the truck to prevent splashing of the product during loading.

- Read the loading ticket to determine the product and volume (gallons) to be loaded:

a. If the product is not correct, the driver is to return to the scale for another ticket.

b. DO NOT PUT ANY PRODUCT INTO THE TRUCK OTHER THAN WHAT IS REQUESTED ON THE LOADING TICKET.

LOADING THE TRUCK- Ensure that the swing is properly secured before loading

begins:

1. Open the swing valve to the truck to be loaded.

2. A small amount of trapped product from the last load may run into the truck at this time. This is OKAY.

3. If product appears to be flowing into the truck under pressure, close the swing valve immediately. Contact your supervisor.

- Set the blender for the proper product and amount to be loaded.

- Check that the truck to be loaded has the swing fully inserted into the truck.

- Check that the blender is properly set for the product and volume requested.

- If all is OKAY, the loading process can take place.

- As the loading is taking place make visual inspections do ensure product is not splashing out of truck and continue monitoring the load.

32

SAFETY NOTEKeep in mind that asphalt vapors contain Hydrogen Sulfide. Keep your face at least two feet from the tank opening at all times. Keep your face out of heavy vapor clouds. Remember to wear your personal H2S monitor during loading.

WHEN THE TRUCK IS FILLING AND COMPLETE- Monitor the filling rate continuously. Stop the loading when

the truck level is within two inches of the truck dome or desired load has been met.

- Close the loading swing valve.

- Use the vacuum breaker to allow the liquid to drain from the swing into the truck. Remove the loading swing from the truck.

- After loading swing has been stored properly, close and secure the dome lid of the truck.

- Walk off of truck.

- Raise the loading ramp.

- Ensure that the driver removes the wheel chocks and disconnects ground cables (if applicable) before getting into truck.

PRE-TRANSFER AND CONNECTION- Ensure the receiving tank is properly aligned to received

desired product.

- Ensure there is adequate space in the receiving tank for the amount of product being received.

- If multiple trucks are being received routine inspection of the tanks should be performed to verify tank levels and looking for any possible product line leaks.

- Spot the truck at the designated unloading station for product to be unloaded.

- Ensure that the driver of the truck has turned off the engine and removed the keys for the vehicle.

- Ensure that the driver has and put on the proper Personal Protective Equipment.

- Plant personnel to check Bill of Lading to ensure proper material is being delivered.

- Ensure that the wheels are properly chocked.

- Ensure truck outlet valve and bleeder valve are in a closed position.

- Instruct the driver to properly vent, open the dome lid on the truck.

- Place drip pan beneath the truck outlet valve.

- Have the driver proceed to remove the fitting cap from the truck outlet valve.

Note: Occasionally outlet valves on trucks can become plugged with cold asphalt. Digging the plug out utilizing a open flamed torch to dissolve the plug is not a good practice. The plug could be a sign of a failed valve and serious injury or an environmental incident could occur if removed. Notify supervisor of the plugged outlet to assist in the decision making process.

- Remove the camlock plug from the facilities unloading hose and ensure that the gasket is in good condition.

- Connect the unloading hose and secure the camlocks with wire or a velcro strap.

Use sólo con ventilación adecuada Evite respirar vapor o neblina. Cada vez que la cara del operario deba estar a una distancia de 90 cm (3 pies) o menos de alguna tapa abierta, debe usar un equipo de protección del aparato respiratorio con suministro de aire. Si las condiciones de funcionamiento provocan altas concentraciones de vapor o se excede el TLV, utilice una careta de respiración de aire puro certificada por NIOSH.

Se requiere ropa termorresistente al manejar productos calientes. Use guantes impermeables contra las sustancias químicas y el aceite.

La elección correcta de guantes protectores depende de los productos químicos que se manipulen, las condiciones de trabajo y uso, y el estado de los guantes (aún los más resistentes a sustancias químicas se deterioran luego de exposiciones prolongadas a estos productos). La mayoría de los guantes sólo brindan protección durante un breve periodo antes de que deban ser desechados y reemplazados. Debido a que los entornos específicos de trabajo y las prácticas de manejo de materiales varían, deben desarrollarse procedimientos de seguridad afines a cada aplicación. Por lo tanto, los guantes se deben elegir luego de consultar al proveedor o fabricante y evaluar exhaustivamente las condiciones de trabajo. se deben elegir luego de consultar al proveedor o fabricante y evaluar exhaustivamente las condiciones de trabajo.

INFORMACIÓN TOXICOLÓGICA No se llevó a cabo una prueba sobre toxicidad.

Ninguno de los componentes de este producto a niveles mayores de 0.1% ha sido identificado como cancerígeno por la ACGIH ni por la Agencia Internacional para la Investigación del Cáncer (IARC). Ninguno de los componentes de este producto presente a niveles mayores de 0.1% ha sido identificado como cancerígeno por el Programa Nacional de Toxicología de los Estados Unidos (NTP) ni por la Ley para la Seguridad y Salud Ocupacional de los Estados Unidos (OSHA).

Toxicidad crónica:

Efectos carcinogénicos:

Otros datos de toxicidad crónica

Se puede acumular ácido sulfhídrico (H2S) en estado gaseoso en los tanques de almacenamiento de compartimientos para transporte a granel que contengan este material. El contacto con los ojos causa conjuntivitis dolorosa, sensibilidad a la luz, lagrimeo y visión borrosa. La inhalación del gas a bajas concentraciones produce secreción nasal acuosa acompañada por pérdida del olfato y dificultades para respirar. Su contacto directo con la piel causa dolor y enrojecimiento. Entre otros síntomas de la exposición se destacan la salivación excesiva, náuseas, vómitos, diarrea, mareos, cefaleas, vértigo, confusión, respiración acelerada, frecuencia cardiaca elevada, sudoración, debilidad, colapsos súbitos, pérdida del conocimiento y muerte por parálisis respiratoria.


aterial

54

También se han informado efectos cardiacos y neurológicos. La inhalación prolongada (más de una hora) de H2S en concentraciones de aproximadamente 50 ppm puede producir irritaciones oculares y del tracto respiratorio. Niveles de 250 a 600 ppm ocasionan la presencia de fluidos en los pulmones, y concentraciones de aproximadamente 1000 ppm provocan pérdida del conocimiento y muerte a corto plazo. Debido a que el sentido del olfato rápidamente se vuelve insensible a este gas tóxico incoloro, no se debe confiar en su olor como indicador de concentración. Trabaje con precaución en las inmediaciones de los contenedores cerrados.

El condensado de vapor de asfalto generado bajo condiciones de laboratorio ha producido resultados positivos en la prueba de mutagenicidad de Ames. Sin embargo, el condensador de vapor de asfalto recolectado en campo bajo condiciones reales de campo ha resultado negativo.

Se ha demostrado que el condensado de vapor de asfalto generado en el laboratorio produce tumores en la piel en ratones al ser aplicado a su piel repetidamente por períodos prolongados de tiempo a lo largo de toda su vida. El condensado de humo utilizado en estos estudios fue generado utilizando temperaturas irrealistamente altas y condiciones de vacío.

Estudios adicionales han demostrado que la composición química y las propiedades físicas del vapor generado en laboratorio difieren de forma importante de la composición y propiedades del vapor producido en el lugar de trabajo bajo condiciones reales de campo. Estas diferencias indican que los riesgos de salud atribuidos a los vapores generados en el laboratorio no son representativos de riesgos reales en el trabajo.

No existe evidencia de que que el asfalto limpio sea carcinogénico. Por lo tanto, no se espera que el contacto intermitente u ocasional de la piel con el asfalto de petróleo tenga efectos serios sobre la salud siempre y cuando se tomen medidas adecuadas de higiene personal, tales como las establecidas en esta hoja de datos de seguridad de materiales.

No se han observado efectos carcinogénicos en animales de laboratorio durante estudios de inhalación a lo largo de la vida con aerosol ni vapor de asfalto. Se han observado cambios crónicos inflamatorios en el tracto respiratorio en animales expuestos. Estos cambios incluyen bronquitis, pneumonitis y congestión pulmonar, los cuales son similares a los efectos

55

inflamatorios observados después de una exposición por inhalación crónica a otros tipos de irritantes respiratorios no específicos.

Los estudios de monitoreo de la salud del cáncer de pulmón entre trabajadores que manejan asfalto han arrojado resultados contradictorios. Mientras que algunos estudios son negativos, otros son positivos pero complicados por la co-exposición de los trabjadores a otros carcinógenos pulmonares potenciales, tales como humo de cigarrillo y alquitrán de carbón.

La Agencia Internacional para Investigación del Cáncer (IARC) ha concluido que no existe evidencia adecuada para clasificar el asfalto como carcinógeno para los humanos.

CONSIDERACIONES SOBRE LA ELIMINACIÓN

INFORMACIÓN ECOLÓGICA

Consultar a las autoridades locales o regionales.

Evite el contacto con el material derramado y cubra con tierra evitando que llegue a los canales de agua de la superficie. Consulte a un profesional medioambiental para determinar si las normas locales, regionales o nacionales clasificarían los materiales derramados o contaminados como residuos peligrosos. Utilice sólo instalaciones aprobadas de desecho, de almacenamiento, de tratamiento, de reciclado y de transporte. Deseche de acuerdo con todas las normativas aplicables, tanto locales como nacionales.

El fabricante no ha realizado pruebas.
