2 4. FIRST AID MEASURES If poisoning occurs, contact a doctor or Poisons Information Centre (Phone Australia , New Zealand ). Inhalation: Not applicable for glue laminated hardwood. Skin contact: Wood splinters can enter skin and cause irritation. If swelling, redness, blistering or irritation occurs seek medical assistance. Eye contact: Glue Laminated Non Treated Hardwood contacting the eye could cause injury. In all cases of eye contact/contamination it is a sensible precaution to seek medical assistance. Ingestion: Not applicable for glue laminated hardwood. Notes to physician: Treat symptomatically. 5. FIRE-FIGHTING MEASURES Specific hazards: Combustible material. Fire fighting further advice: On burning may emit toxic fumes. Fire fighters to wear self-contained breathing apparatus and suitable protective clothing if risk of exposure to vapour or products of combustion. Hazchem Code: Not applicable. Suitable extinguishing media: If material is involved in a fire use water fog (or if unavailable fine water spray), foam, dry agent (carbon dioxide, dry chemical powder). 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Not applicable for solid beams. For spills of Hardwood wood dust: SMALL SPILLS Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of dust. Wipe up with absorbent (clean rag or paper towels). LARGE SPILLS Shut off all possible sources of ignition. Wear protective equipment to prevent skin and eye contamination. Avoid inhalation of dust. Work upwind or increase ventilation. Cover with damp absorbent (inert material, sand or soil). Sweep or vacuum up, but avoid generating dust. Collect and seal in properly labeled containers or drums for disposal. Dangerous Goods Initial Emergency Response Guide No: Not applicable. Issued: 6 June 2013 Version: 1.0 Page: 2 of 6

3 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling: Hyne recommends that when handling Glue Laminated Australian Hardwood beams, that due to their weight, where possible mechanical lifting devices are utilized. If this is not possible, then safe manual handling techniques must be used. Avoid eye contact and repeated or prolonged skin contact. The use of mechanical lifting devices, gloves and foot protection is recommended when handling Glue Laminated Australian Hardwood beams. Storage: Glue Laminated Australian Hardwood beams should be maintained in a dry condition and protected from direct exposure to the weather. If covered storage is not available, the beams should be covered with suitable plastic or tarpaulins. The cover shall be placed to preclude moisture whilst maintaining good air circulation in and around the beams. Store away from incompatible materials described in section 10. Store away from sources of heat or ignition. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION National occupational exposure limits: No Value assigned for this specific material by Safe Work Australia or the Department of Labour New Zealand. However, if there is a significant chance that fine/powdery wood dusts will be generated, or is likely to build up from working with this product, Hyne Timber recommends that exposure to wood dust is kept as low as practicable with the aim of maintaining inspirable wood dust levels below 1.0 mg/m3 TWA. Biological Limit Values: As per the National Model Regulations for the Control of Workplace Hazardous Substances (Safe Work Australia) the ingredients in this material do not have a Biological Limit Allocated. Engineering measures: Natural ventilation should be adequate under normal use conditions. Personal protective equipment: GLOVES, FOOT PROTECTION, DUST MASK. Wear impervious gloves to protect against wood splinters and foot protection to provide protection from falling objects (beams, etc). If fine wood dust exists or is likely to be generated, wear dust mask/respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES Form / Colour / Odour: Solid beam. Glue Laminated Chemically Treated and Non-Chemically Treated Australian Hardwood beams consist of various colours according to the species of timber used. Odour will vary, depending on the species of timber used.

STABILITY AND REACTIVITY Chemical stability: This material is thermally stable when stored and used as directed. Conditions to avoid: Sources of ignition. Incompatible Materials: Oxidising agents. Hazardous decomposition products: Oxides of carbon and nitrogen, smoke and other toxic fumes. Hazardous reactions: No known hazardous reactions. 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION No adverse health effects expected if the product is handled in accordance with this safety data sheet and the product label. The treatment is fixed by chemical reaction into Australian hardwood. The solution is fixed into the wood within 2-14 days depending on humidity and temperature and must be dry well before being glue laminated. It is believed that no absorption of treatment into skin will occur after the fixation period. Formaldehyde containing glues are cured within 4 to 8 hours after application. No free formaldehyde will be released from the glue after this period, and testing has shown that formaldehyde emissions of Glue laminated non treated hardwood to be well within the requirements of Emission Class E 0 as specified in both AS/NZS and AS/NZS The cured resin is inert and not likely to contribute to health effects, based on current research and knowledge. Symptoms or effects that may arise if the product is mishandled and overexposure occurs are: Acute Effects Inhalation: Not applicable for Glue Laminated Plantation Softwood beams. Skin contact: Contact with wood splinters may result in physical irritation to the skin. Eye contact: Contact with solid timber may result in physical irritation to the eye. Ingestion: Not applicable for solid timber product. Long Term Effects: No Information available for Glue Laminated solid timber product. Acute toxicity / Chronic toxicity: No LD50 data available for the product. Issued: 6 June 2013 Version: 1.0 Page: 4 of 6

5 Repeated inhalation of fine wood dust from this product may increase the risk of nasal cavity cancer. This material (fine wood dust) has been classified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) as a Group 1 agent. Group 1 the agent is carcinogenic to humans. This is a generic classification for all wood dust, even though certain wood species may not be carcinogenic. Exposure to hardwood sawdust in some susceptible people may result in respiratory and skin sensitisation. 12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION Ecotoxicity: No information available. Persistence and degradability: No information available. Mobility: No information available. 13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS Chemically Treated off-cuts and general waste material from Glue Laminated Hardwood is not classified as a hazardous waste and as such, domestic and trade users can dispose of treated waste through normal waste collection and disposal services or burned in commercial or industrial incineration. Non-Chemically Treated off-cuts from Glue Laminated Hardwood can be burnt in open fires, stoves, fireplaces and residential boilers. Note: Glue Laminated Treated Hardwood must not be burnt in open fires, stoves, fireplaces and residential boilers. Refer to State/Territory Land Waste Management Authority. 14.
