MORTAR / PCL SAND 4 OF 6
This product contains crystalline silica. Prolonged overexposure to quartz or crystalline silica dust can cause pneumoconiosis,
silicosis:( a permanent fibro tic lung disease) and potentially lung cancer. Dust can cause inflammation of the lining tissue in the
nose and inflammation of the cornea. Eye contact with the wet or dry product can cause burns and permanent damage to the
eyes. Sdn contact with the wet product can cause burns (corrosive). Repeated or prolonged skin contact with the wet product
can cause drying of the skin, dermatitis and possibly allergic skin reactions.
Skin contact with the dry product can cause irritation and possibly burns. Ingestion of either the wet or dry product is expected
to cause severe irritation and likely burns to the mouth, throat, esophagus, and possibly the stomach. Nausea, vomiting and
diarrhea may also occur. There were no data located addressing potential reproductive, developmental, or mutagenic effects
following exposure to this product.
Ingredient Based Information:
This product contains calcium hydroxide (CAS# 1305-62-0). Calcium hydroxide is a strong base and a moderately caustic irri-
tation to all exposed body surfaces, including the eyes and the respiratory tract. Exposure by all routes causes moderate to
severe irritation. Eye contact can cause burns. Ingestion is expected to cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea along with irrita-
tion to the mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach and gastrointestinal tract. The rat-oral LD50 is 7340 mg/kg. Rats fed tap water
containing 50 and 350 mg/L had reduced food intake with restlessness and aggression 2 months after exposure, and
decreased body weight, decreased erythrocytes and phagocytes and hemoglobin 3 months after exposure. At autopsy these
animalshad inflammation of the small intestine, dystrophic changes of the stomach, kidneys and liver. There were no data
located regarding potential reproductive, developmental or carcinogenic effects following exposure.
This product contains Portland cement (CAS# 65995-15-1). Portland cement generally contains two essential components: tn-
calcium silicate (3Ca0.S02) and dicalcium silicate (2Ca0•Si02). Varying amounts of alumina, tnicalcium aluminate, iron oxide,
and possibly chromium may be present. Exposure can occur by eye or skin contact, inhalation, or ingestion. Eye contact can
cause irritation. Portland cement is considered a primary skin irritant. Repeated or prolonged skin contact can cause dermati-
tis. Skin sensitivity may occur if hexavalent chromium is present. Inhalation of dusts may cause dyspnea based on a cross
sectional study of 2736 Portland cement workers and 755 controls. In this study, 5.4 % of the cement workers had dyspnea
v.s. 2.7 % of the controls. Ingestion can cause irritation to the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach with nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea. Data located were inconclusive regarding the association between occupational exposure to Portland cement
and various cancers (e.g. stomach and lung).
No data: were located addressing potential reproductive or developmental affects following occupational exposure.
This product contains crystalline silica (CAS# 14808-60-7). Silica (crystalline) is a composed of colorless crystals. Inhalation of
crystalline silica is the most significant route of exposure. Inhalation of crystalline silica can lead to silicosis. Silicosis is a dis-
abling, progressive and sometimes fatal lung disease that is characterized by the presence of typical nodulation of the lungs
leading to fibrosis. Inhalation of high concentrations of crystalline silica over a short period of time (as little as a few weeks) can
cause acute silicosis. Signs and symptoms of acute silicosis include progressive tiredness, fever, weight loss, cough and short-
ness of:breath, wheezing, changes in the chest x-ray, and nonspecific chest illness. In acute silicosis, the lungs show a diffuse
ground-glass appearance similar to pulmonary adema and lacking in the nodular pattern in the lungs. Chronic inhalation of
lower cncentrations can result in silicosis that develops and lasts over many months or years. Those with existing respiratory
or lung problems may be at an increased risk from exposure. Clinical signs and symptoms of silicosis generally progress with
continued exposure, advancing age, and continued smoking habits. Clinical signs and symptoms of silicosis include cough,
tiredness, wheezing, and nonspecific chest illnesses. Symptoms may continue to worsen even after exposure is stopped. The
risk of onset of silicosis and the progression to pulmonary lesions is related to the dust concentrations and duration of expo-
sure. Silicosis predisposes to active tuberculosis with the combined diseases progressing more rapidly than silicosis alone.
The crystalline silica that remains in the lungs can also cause emphysema, obstructive airway disease and lymph node fibrosis
in humans. Occupational exposure to crystalline silica has been associated with lung cancer in some studies. Exposure to
crystalline silica dust has also been associated with progressive systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) and may cause perturbations
in the immune system based on human data and animal studies. Crystalline silica has been shown to inhibit human leukocyte
elastase in, in vitro studies. This may result in a decrease in bactericidal activity and set the stage for opportunistic infections.
IARC has determined that crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources in carcinogenic to
humans (IARC group 1). The National Toxicology Program Considers crystalline silica a known human carcinogen. There are
no data located addressing reproductive or developmental hazards of silica (crystalline) exposure.

MORTAR/ PCLSAND 5oF6
This product contains calcium sulfate (CAS# 7778-18-9). Calcium sulfate, when added to water may exist in more hydrated
forms. Exposure to calcium sulfate can occur by inhalation, ingestion and eye and skin contact. Inhalation of calcium sulfate
dust causes upper respiratory tract irritation primarily as a nuisance dust. Data from human occupational exposures indicate
that calcium sulfate caused no lung disease in calcium sulfate miners. Ingestion may result in abdominal pain, vomiting or diar-
rhea. Ingestion of large amounts could cause obstruction of the gut in the pyloric region. Skin contact with calcium sulfate is
not expected to cause irritation. However, skin contact with more hydrated forms of calcium sulfate may cause thermal burns
during the hardening process. Eye contact with calcium sulfate may result in mechanical irritation. No adverse affects were
reported after application of calcium sulfate to rabbit eyes. Calcium sulfate dihydrate was shown to cause carcinogenic effects
in one study. There were no additional data located regarding the potential carcinogenic, reproductive or developmental effects
following exposure to calcium sulfate.
This product may contain chromic acid green (CAS# 1308-38-9). Chromic acid green is a trivalent chromium pigment.
Exposure can occur by inhalation of dusts, eye or skin contact, or ingestion. Data located indicates that inhalation of chromic
acid green is unlikely to cause adverse respiratory. Eye or skin contact may cause irritation. Ingestion may cause stomach up
set with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In one study, administration of 2 or 5 % of chromic acid green in the diet of rats for 90
days produced no signs of toxic effects or adverse developmental effects. IARC has determined that trivalent chromium com-
pounds are not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity (IARC).
This product may contain small amounts of iron oxide fume (CAS# 1309-37-1), yellow iron oxide (CAS# 51274-00-1) and black
iron oxide (CAS# 1317-61-9). Exposure to iron and iron compounds can occur by ingestion, inhalation of dusts or fumes, or
eye or skin contact. Ingestion of significant amounts of iron containing compounds is of significant concern but is unlikely in an
occupational setting. Inhalation of dusts or fumes of iron oxide may cause mild upper respiratory imtation. Repeated or chron-
ic inhalation of dusts or fumes can cause mottling of the lungs-a condition known as siderosis. Siderosis is generally consid-
ered a benign pneumoconiosis and does not usually cause significant physiologic impairment. Skin contact with iron or iron
compounds is not expected to cause irritation. Metallic iron bodies in the eye can produce a "rust ring" of yellow brown stain-
ing and cause irritation, hyperemia of the conjunctiva and inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber. There were no data locat-
ed addressing the mutagencity of iron and iron compounds. Most available data indicate that adverse developmental effects
following ingestion of iron, iron oxide or iron compounds given during pregnancy are not likely. There were no data located
addressing the potential carcinogenic effects following exposure to iron or iron compounds.
This product may contain small amounts of calcium carbonate (CAS# 1317-65-3). Calcium carbonate is an odorless, tasteless
powder Or crystal. In general, there have been no adverse health effects reported in the literature among workers using calcium
carbonate. Skin or eye contact with moderate amounts of calcium carbonate may result in irritation. Calcium carbonate had
no effect when applied to the surface of rabbit eyes. Inhalation of large amounts may result in respiratory irritation. Calcium
carbonate has not been associated with pneumoconiosis and inhalation of the dust has not been associated with adverse
effects. Acute single ingestion's of calcium carbonate may result in mild gastrointestinal distress. The rat-oral LD50 for calcium
carbonate is 6450mg/kg. Chronic ingestion of large amounts(4-60g/day for 2 to 30 days) may result in metabolic disturbances.
Available data indicate that exposure to calcium carbonate is not expected to cause carcinogenic, reproductive, or develop-
mental effects.
Possible target organs: All tissues (possibly corrosive) and respiratory system (e.g. lungs).
Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure: Skin (e.g. sensitive skin) and respiratory or lung disorders (e.g.
asthma, bronchitis).
Carcinogens: IARC has determined that crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is car-
cinogenic to humans (IARC group 1). The National Toxicology Program (NTP) considers crystalline silica of a respirable size a
known human carcinogen.

v.s. 2.7 % of the controls. Ingestion can cause irritation to the mouth, throat, esophagus and stomach with nausea, vomiting
and diarrhea. Data located were inconclusive regarding the association between occupational exposure to Portland cement
and various cancers (e.g. stomach and lung).
No data were located addressing potential reproductive or developmental affects following occupational exposure.
This product contains crystalline silica (CAS# 14808-60-7). Silica (crystalline) is a composed of colorless crystals. Inhalation of
crystalline silica is the most significant route of exposure. Inhalation of crystalline silica can lead to silicosis. Silicosis is a dis-
abling, progressive and sometimes fatal lung disease that is characterized by the presence of typical nodulation of the lungs
leading to fibrosis. Inhalation of high concentrations of crystalline silica over a short period of time (as little as a few weeks) can
cause acute silicosis. Signs and symptoms of acute silicosis include progressive tiredness, fever, weight loss, cough and short-
ness of breath, wheezing, changes in the chest x-ray, and nonspecific chest illness. In acute silicosis, the lungs show a diffuse
ground-glass appearance similar to pulmonary adema and lacking in the nodular pattern in the lungs. Chronic inhalation of
lower concentrations can result in silicosis that develops and lasts over many months or years. Those with existing respiratory
or lung problems may be at an increased risk from exposure. Clinical signs and symptoms of silicosis generally progress with
continued exposure, advancing age, and continued smoking habits. Clinical signs and symptoms of silicosis include cough,
tiredness, wheezing, and nonspecific chest illnesses. Symptoms may continue to worsen even after exposure is stopped. The
risk of onset of silicosis and the progression to pulmonary lesions is related to the dust concentrations and duration of expo-
sure. Silicosis predisposes to active tuberculosis with the combined diseases progressing more rapidly than silicosis alone.
The crystalline silica that remains in the lungs can also cause emphysema, obstructive airway disease and lymph node fibrosis
in humans. Occupational exposure to crystalline silica has been associated with lung cancer in some studies. Exposure to
crystalline silica dust has also been associated with progressive systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) and may cause perturbations
in the immune system based on human data and animal studies. Crystalline silica has been shown to inhibit human leukocyte
elastase in, in vitro studies. This may result in a decrease in bactericidal activity and set the stage for opportunistic infections.
IARC has determined that crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources in carcinogenic to
humans (IARC group 1). The National Toxicology Program Considers crystalline silica a known human carcinogen. There are
no data located addressing reproductive or developmental hazards of silica (crystalline) exposure.
MORTAR /PCLSAND 50F6
This product contains calcium sulfate (CAS# 7778-18-9). Calcium sulfate, when added to water may exist in more hydrated
forms. Exposure to calcium sulfate can occur by inhalation, ingestion and eye and skin contact. Inhalation of calcium sulfate
dust causes upper respiratory tract irritation primarily as a nuisance dust. Data from human occupational exposures indicate
that calcium sulfate caused no lung disease in calcium sulfate miners. Ingestion may result in abdominal pain, vomiting or diar-
rhea. Ingestion of large amounts could cause obstruction of the gut in the pyloric region. Skin contact with calcium sulfate is
not expected to cause irritation. However, skin contact with more hydrated forms of calcium sulfate may cause thermal burns
during the hardening process. Eye contact with calcium sulfate may result in mechanical irritation. No adverse affects were
reported after application of calcium sulfate to rabbit eyes. Calcium sulfate dihydrate was shown to cause carcinogenic effects
in one study. There were no additional data located regarding the potential carcinogenic, reproductive or developmental effects
following exposure to calcium sulfate.
This product may contain chromic acid green (CAS# 1308-38-9). Chromic acid green is a trivalent chromium pigment.
Exposure can occur by inhalation of dusts, eye or skin contact, or ingestion. Data located indicates that inhalation of chromic
acid green is unlikely to cause adverse respiratory. Eye or skin contact may cause irritation. Ingestion may cause stomach up
set with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. In one study, administration of 2 or 5 % of chromic acid green in the diet of rats for 90
days produced no signs of toxic effects or adverse developmental effects. IARC has determined that trivalent chromium com-
pounds are not classifiable as to their carcinogenicity (IARC).
This product may contain small amounts of iron oxide fume (CAS# 1309-37-1), yellow iron oxide (CAS# 51274-00-1) and black
iron oxide (CAS# 1317-61-9). Exposure to iron and iron compounds can occur by ingestion, inhalation of dusts or fumes, or
eye or skin contact. Ingestion of significant amounts of iron containing compounds is of significant concern but is unlikely in an
occupational setting. Inhalation of dusts or fumes of iron oxide may cause mild upper respiratory irritation. Repeated or chron-
ic inhalation of dusts or fumes can cause mottling of the lungs-a condition known as siderosis. Siderosis is generally consid-
ered a benign pneumoconiosis and does not usually cause significant physiologic impairment. Skin contact with iron or iron
compounds is not expected to cause irritation. Metallic iron bodies in the eye can produce a "rust ring" of yellow brown stain-
ing and cause irritation, hyperemia of the conjunctiva and inflammatory cells in the anterior chamber. There were no data locat-
ed addressing the mutagencity of iron and iron compounds. Most available data indicate that adverse developmental effects
following ingestion of iron, iron oxide or iron compounds given during pregnancy are not likely. There were no data located
addressing the potential carcinogenic effects following exposure to iron or iron compounds.
This product may contain small amounts of calcium carbonate (CAS# 1317-65-3). Calcium carbonate is an odorless, tasteless
powder or crystal. In general, there have been no adverse health effects reported in the literature among workers using calcium
carbonate. Skin or eye contact with moderate amounts of calcium carbonate may result in irritation. Calcium carbonate had
no effect when applied to the surface of rabbit eyes. Inhalation of large amounts may result in respiratory irritation. Calcium
carbonate has not been associated with pneumoconiosis and inhalation of the dust has not been associated with adverse
effects. Acute single ingestion's of calcium carbonate may result in mild gastrointestinal distress. The rat-oral LD50 for calcium
carbonate is 6450mg/kg. Chronic ingestion of large amounts(4-60g/day for 2 to 30 days) may result in metabolic disturbances.
Available data indicate that exposure to calcium carbonate is not expected to cause carcinogenic, reproductive, or develop-
mental effects.
Possible target organs: All tissues (possibly corrosive) and respiratory system (e.g. lungs).
Medical conditions that may be aggravated by exposure: Skin (e.g. sensitive skin) and respiratory or lung disorders (e.g.
asthma, bronchitis).
Carcinogens: IARC has determined that crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources is car-
cinogenic to humans ([ARC group 1). The National Toxicology Program (NTP) considers crystalline silica of a respirable size a
known human carcinogen.

This data is to be used by a soils engineer, or a competent person. The competent person
shall. be experienced and knowledgeable of trenching and excavation procedures, these of
hydraulic shoring systems, soils identification, and the OSHA standards.
C The competent person shalt continually monitor the excavation for signs of deterioration such
as seepage of water or flowing soil Into the excavation. Promptly dewater any accumulated
water and reassess the trench for safety. Changing soil conditions may require adjustments to
the shoring iystem.
Q. The tabulated dataihaU only be used for those soil conditions indicated. The data is not
considered adequate when loads imposed by structures, equipment, traffic, or stored materials
adjacent to the trench exceed the assumed design surcharge loads of 20,000 pounds, or the
imposed load of a 2 ft, spoil pile located less than 2 ft. from the edge of the excavation. An
engineered shoring design is required for conditions other than those assumed in the tables.
When only the lower portion of a trench is to be shored and the remaining portion is benched
or sloped at an angle steeper than three horizontal to one vertical (3H1V), the shoring
members shall be selected from the tabulated data for use at a depth which is determined
from the top of the overall trench and not the toe of the sloped portion.
The faces of the excavation shall be straight and near vertical. Shoring members must bear on
firm soil or solid filler,
0. Trenches shall be kept dry and free of watarat all times.
H. Vertical and/or horizontal lateral loads shall ot be applied to the hydrauliocy!inderra-
