HAZARDS:
 Potential Acute Health Effects:

 Skin: Repeated or prolonged contact may


cause reddening, itching and inflammation.

 Ingestion:
A single dose of 100 grams has reportedly
caused mild symptoms of Central Nervous
System depression e. g. drowsiness and slow
reflexes.
HAZARDS:
 Eyes: Severe irritant. Contact with heated
material may cause thermal burns
 Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation although no
incidents of dust inhalation health effects have
been Reported
 Ingestion:
May cause gastrointestinal disturbances.
Symptoms may include irritation, nausea,
vomiting and diarrhea.
HAZARDS:

 Potential Chronic Health Effects:


None known. Urea is a naturally occurring
chemical in the body. It is an end product of
protein metabolism and is excreted in the
urine.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS
 Engineering Controls:
Provide local or general ventilation to keep
below nuisance dust limit of 15mg/m3.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
 Eye Protection:
o Wear safety glasses or chemical goggles to
prevent eye contact.
o Do not wear contact lenses when working
with this substance.
o Have eye wash facilities available where eye
contact could occur.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
 Protective Clothing:
Wear impervious gloves and protective
clothing to prevent skin contact

 Respiratory Protection:
Normally none needed. Use NIOSH approved
equipment when airborne dust exposure limits
are exceeded. NIOSH approved breathing
equipment must be available for non-routine
and emergency use.
FIRST AID MEASURES
 Eyes: Promptly flush with water, continuing
for 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held away
from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing. If
irritation persists, consult a
physician immediately.
 Skin:
Wash area of contact thoroughly with soap
and water. For contact with molten product do
not remove clothing. Flush skin immediately
with cold water. Launder clothing before
reuse.
FIRST AID MEASURES
 Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Keep affected person
warm and treat for shock. Get medical
attention. A single dose of 100 grams has
reportedly caused mild symptoms of Central
Nervous System depression (drowsiness,
etc.).
FIRST AID MEASURES
 Inhalation:
Remove affected person from source of
exposure. If not breathing, ensure open
airway and initiate CPR (Cardiopulmonary
resuscitation ). If breathing is difficult,
administer oxygen; if available get medical
attention.
