Section 3 	Hazard Identification
Emergency Overview
The Polystyrene sheet is not expected to be an inhalation hazard under normal processing conditions.
If the material is processed under prolonged exposure to flame or high temperature, thermal burns to the
skin may occur and toxic gasses produced may irritate the respiratory system.
Potential Health Effects
Eyes, skin, and inhalation due to exposure to flame (molten plastic).
Primary Routes of Exposure
Routes of entry could include eye, skin, and inhalation due to exposure to flame (molten plastic).
Potential Environmental Effects
If processed scrap is controlled by the customer, no negative ecological effects are expected.
Section 4 	First-Aid Measures
Inhalation
Remove affected individual to fresh air, seek medical attention if difficulties in breathing occur.
Skin
If skin has contact with molten material, place affected area under cold running water. Seek
medical attention for removal of material from the affected area.
Eyes
If there is contact to the eyes with molten material, rinse with plenty of after and seek immediate medical
attention. If plastic fines enter the eye, rinse with water for 15 minutes and seek immediate medical
attention if irritation develops.
Section 5 	Fire-Fighting Measures
Suitable Extinguishing Media
Dry extinguisher, water, carbon, dioxide, foam
Protective Equipment for Fire-Fighting
Firefighters should be equipped with self-contained breathing apparatus
Hazardous Combustion Products
During a fire, Carbon Oxides and soot may be generated by combustion and thermal decomposition
of the material.

Section 6 	Accidental Release Measures
The Polystyrene material in sheet form is not applicable for this section

Section 7 	Handling and Storage
Handling
Protect against flame and intense heat.
Storage
Store in well ventilated area, avoid extreme heat and any source of ignition or open flame.
Secondary Use/Reprocessing
When reprocessing material for secondary use, ground all handling equipment. Keep material and dust 		
produced away from high heat and flame.  Use good housekeeping practices when reprocessing material.

Section 8 	Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory Protection
During processing respiratory protection may not be necessary if ventilation is adequately provided. At 		
excessive processing temperature, breathing protection may be required.
Hand Protection
Gloves may be required when processing the sheet due to sharp edges and when plastic is in
the molten state.
Eye Protections
Safety glasses with side-shields are recommended
General
Avoid contact with molten on the skin, eyes and clothing. Handle product in accordance with good
industrial hygiene and safety practices.
