First Aid Measures
Emergency procedures for chemical exposure incidents
Remove the person away from the exposure source and into fresh air. If the person is coughing and sneezing, or has difficulty in breathing normally, treat accordingly. In case of massive accidental inhalation, call a doctor.
Symptoms: Irritation of the respiratory tract, coughing, sneezing, difficulty in breathing normally.
In case the subject complains of skin dryness, apply a standard moisturizer. A skin with scratches and exposed to calcium carbonate can be washed with water and a neutral soap. If irritation appears and persists, consult a doctor.
Symptoms: Skin dryness, irritation of the skin (unusual).
Wash the eye with plenty of water or with a normal saline solution. If an irritation or a redness appears, consult a doctor.
Symptoms: Mechanical irritation of the eye, irritation, redness.
Calcium carbonate is authorized as a food additive and is used in toothpastes and other pharmaceutical products such as acidity absorber and therefore it does not present any risk in case of ingestion.
Immediate Medical Attention
In case of massive accidental inhalation, call a doctor.

Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Care should be taken not to create dust over the recommended professional exposure limits. In case of dust dispersion in the air over the recommended limits, appropriate respiratory masks have to be worn or an air filtration system has to be installed.
Avoid creating dust, keep the product dry. Stock the product away from humidity so as not to degrade its mixing potential, and to prevent agglomerates from forming.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
If necessary install other aspiratory system or ventilation system to obtain a dust level inferior to the professional exposure limit.
In general Protection gloves are not necessary, they can be wear for workers who may have a dry or irritated skin.
If necessary security glass or protection glass can wear to avoid the eyes to be in contact with a great quantity of dust transported by air.
respiratory mask appropriate for dust must be wear every time that the recommended professional exposure limit are exceeded to avoid an over exposition.
not necessary No special hygienic measure.
The dust level must be controlled following the european, national and local regulations
