SECTION V - HEALTH, FIRST AID AND MEDICAL DATA Threshold Limit Value (TLV): 5 mg/cu.m. Calcium hydroxides, is, .an alka.!in.e'm,3terial. In presence of.moisture, contact with skin and. eyes will cause irritation and. possible severe corrosion damage. Inhalation of dust may cause coughing, sneezing or inflammation of the respiratory passages:. While short-term exposure and irritation are generally without permanent effects, untreated contact and .irritation can cause dermatitis and chemical bums. Prevention of contact and exposure under good working conditions is much -preferred to first aid after injury. 'See Section VIII below. FIRST iadD: Inhala6on: Remove. from exposure to dust and get prompt medical help. · .Eye Contact: Wash eyes immediately with running water for 15 minutes, including under eyelids. Get prompt medical attention! 'Skin Contact: Wash exposure area with large mounts of water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing. Ingestion: Immediately dilute the chemical by drinking large amounts of water or milk. Then neutralize by drinking dilute vinegar or fruit juice. SECTION VI - CORROSIVITY AND REACTIVITY DATA Stability: STABLE. Iqa?-qrdous polymerization will NOT occur. Incompatibilities: Calcium .hydroxide is incompatible with acids, ammo. Mum salts, phosphorous and some organic compounds. Hydrated lime is stable in sealed containers at normal temperatures. Decomposition Products: When exposed to ak, this strongly alkaline compound will absorb and react with carbon dioxide, producing calcium carbonate. This forms lumps, reduces the chemical activity and results in a limited shelf life. Calcium salts are normal reaction products with other materials. Conditions to be Avoided: Handling procedures which may generate dust. Contact with nitroparaff'ms, maleic anhydride or phosphorus. SECTION' VII'- STORAGE, HANDLING AND USE PROCEDURES Normal Storage and Handling: Dry area, out of weather and flood danger. Avoid dusting in handling. Normal Use: Standard equipment for hydrated lime use. Make adequate provision for dust-free operations. Steps to be Taken in Case of Leaks or Spills: Those involved in clean up must protect against skin contact and inhalation of dust or mist. See Section VIII.' Carefully pick up the powder with a minimum of dusting and collect in metal containers with covers for disposal. The small amounts of residue after shoveling and sweeping can be flushed to the drain using plenty of water. Waste Disposal Method: Several methods may be suitable: a) Spread in a protected area to permit reaction with carbon dioxide in ak. (Prevent air current dusting.) b) Neutralize with acid or waste acid. c) Use as a soil amendment. d) Use to stabilize clay soils. Follow Federal, State and local regulations. SECTION VIII - PERSONAL PROTECTION INFORMATION Respiratory Protection: NIOSH approved dust filter respirator in dusty' conditions. In absence of dust, mechanical exhaust is adequate. 'i~e Protection: Approved fight-fitting safety goggles. Protective Gloves:' Clean, dry rubber gloves. Clothing: Clean, body-covering protective clothing such as long-sleeve shirt with buttoned collar; long pants extending over tops of work shoes. Ventilation:. Provide general ventilation and local exhaust ventilation with appropriate dust collection to meet TLV requirements for lime dust. 'Other Equipment: An eyewash station and safety shower should be readily available near the work area. SECTION IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS Store materials in sealed containers in a dry place. Avoid contact with acids and other incompatible materials. Exposure to air lowers the available calcium hydroxide reactivity over time. SPECIAL REFERENCE: LIME HANDLING, APPLICATION AND STORAGE, Na[ Lime Assoc. Bull. 213, 4th ed., 1982. Rev. 03/04/86 HSC - I November 16, 1998 Mr. Ralph Huey · Director~ · Office of Environmental Services Bakersfield Fire Department 1715 Chester Ave. Bakersfield, Ca 93301 Mr. Huey, I wanted to let you know that we have corrected the violations that were assessed against ~ us on october 28; 19'98 :at the fa6ility that ~ve 'are Using'at 21'st and R Streets-in ' Bakersfield. Specifically, we have done the following: 1. We have reduced the number of propane cylinders that we keep for our forklifts to two. In addition, we store these cylinders now outside the facility away from any cardboard or other inflammable materials. The propane cylinders are used only for our forklifts, and we do not resell any propane. In addition, we only use the extra cylinders for propane storage during the months of September through the middle of November. This is our so-called "busy season" when we go through about 1- 2 , cylinders of propane per day while operating our forklifts. . ~5.~'' ~'W~ .fi~c/e :~'l~ared the aisle way inside the warehouse. We were temporarily using '" · .'this spac.e while our inventory was high. Our inventory of hydrated lime reached its peak about a week ago. The inventory is now getting smaller. '3. The frayed extension cord leading to the camper has been removed. In addition, the extension cord to the washing machine in the bathroom has been removed. 4. I have instructed my employees again on the information contained in the Material Safety Data Sheet for hydrated lime. In addition, we now post a Material Safety Data Sheet on the camper-trailer that is next to the warehouse. _ _I belie_v_ethat we have made the necess_ary corrections you cited i_n your letter of November 3, 1998'. If you have any questions or additional information for me, please call me at (714) 435-0612. Sincerely, Ralph Bishop ...

Calcium hydroxide is an alkaline material. In presence of moisture, contact with skin and eyes .will cause irritation and possible severe corrosion damage. Inhalation of dust may cause coughing, sneezing or inflammation of the respiratory passages. While short-term exposure and irritation are generally without permanent effects, untreated contact and irritation can cause dermatitis and chemical burns. Prevention of contact and exposure under good working conditions is much.prefexTed to first aid after injury. See Section VIII below. FIRST AID: Inhalation: Remove from exposure to dust and get prompt medical help. Eye Contact: Wash eyes Immediately with running water for 15 minutes, including under eyelids. Get prompt medical attention! Skin Contact: Wash exposure area with large amounts of water. Remove and wash contaminated clothing. Ingestion: Immediately dilute the chemical by drinking large amounts of water or milk. Then neutralize by drinking dilute vinegar or fruit juice.

Decomposition Products: When exposed to air, this strongly alkaline compound will absorb and react with carbon dioxide, producing calcium carbonate. This forms lumps, reduces the chemical activity and results in a limited shelf life. Calcium salts are normal reaction products with other materials. Conditions to be Avoided: Handling procedures which may generate dust. Contact with nitroparaffins, maleic anhydride or phosphorus. · SECTION VII - STORAGE, HANDLING AND USE PROCEDURES Normal Storage and Handling: Dry area, out of weather and flood danger. Avoid dusting in handling. Normal'Use: Standard equipment for hydrated lime use. Make adequate provision for dust free operations. Steps to be Tak~en in Case of Leaks or Spills: Those involved in clean up must protect against skin contact and inhalation of dust or mist. See Section VIII. carefully pick up the powder with a minimum of dusting and collect in'metal containers with covers for disposal. The small amounts of residue after shoveling andsweeping can be flushed to the drain using plenty of water. Waste Disposal Method: Several methods may be suitable: a) Spread in a protected area to permit reaction with carbon dioxide 'in air. (Prevent air current dusting.) b) Neutralize with acid or waste acid. c) Use as a soil amendment. d) Use to stabilize clay soils. Follow Federal, State and Local regulations. ! ....

This office ENVIRONMENTALSSJ~qCES 'hearing was in relationship to unloading of lime from rail cars at the Southern 171fiChost~Avo. Pacific siding in Bakersfield. First, let me clarify that lime is considered a Bakersfield, CA 93301 C~15) 326-3979 hazardous material in California. The California Health and Safety Code, in FAX (805) 326-C~76 Chapter 6.95 Article 1, Section 25501 defines a hazardous material as: TRAINING DIVISION 5642 Victor Street "Hazardous material" means any material that, (805) 399-4697 because of its quantity, concentration, or physical or FAX C805) 399-5763 chemical characteristics, poses a significant present or potential hazard to human health and safety or to the environment if released into the workplace or the environment. "Hazardous materials" include, but are not limited to, hazardous substances, hazardous waste, and any material which a handler or the administering agency has a reasonable basis · for believing that it would be injurious to the health and safety of persons or harmthl to the environment if released into the workplace or the environment. "Hazardous substance" means any substance or chemical product for which one of the tbllowing applies: ( 1 ) The manuthcturer or producer is required to prepare a MSDS tbr the substance or product pursuant to the Hazardous Substances Information and Training Act (Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 6360) of Part I of Division 5 of the Labor Code) or pursuant to any applicable federal law or regulation. (2) The substance is listed as a radioactive material in Appendix B of Chapter l of Title 10 of the Code of Federal Regulations, maintained and updated by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. (3)The substances listed pursuant to Title 49 of the Code of Federal Regulations. (4) The materials listed in subdivision (b) of Section 6382 of the Labor Code. As you can see, this definition includes the requirement for a MSDS pursuant to the Hazardous Substance Information and Training Act. This material, lime, is a hazardous material! Based on that fact, during the manual unloading of a rail car during the week of August 25, 1997, several hazardous materials regulation violations were identified: (1) Employees were not wearing personal protective clothing, specifically skin covering, respirators and goggles. This is in violation of: CCR Title 8, Section 5144 (f) and (c) Uniform Fire Code, Section 8001.9. I. 1. (2) Training for these employees appears to be inadequate. This is in violation of: CCR Title 8, Section 5194 (h). These violations must 'be corrected before any further unloading of lime from railcars is accomplished. It is noted, that in the office hearing held on September 5, 1997, that you have stated that employees have now been properly trained and will be using the proper safety clothing. With the use of temporary employees tbr this/'unction, it is important to maintain a vigilant standard to assure this practice is l'bllowed. If you have any questions regarding this notice. please contact me at 326-3979.
