o Yellow and Magenta (Purple) Tape - “Do Not Cross”. Used for 

possible radiation hazard, x-ray, etc. 

• The person erecting the barrier tape shall hang a tag on the tape that indicates 

the hazard, name of Contractor, and name of person erecting the tape. The 

barrier tape shall be erected far enough back from the hazard to allow

1.9 Sorbent MSDS 

The material safety data sheet (MSDS) in Figure A-5 contains data regarding the properties 

of the hydrated lime sorbent. The sorbent contains mostly calcium hydroxide (>90%) with 

traces of magnesium hydroxide, magnesium oxide, calciu carbonate, and silicon dioxide. The 

appearance is odorless white or gray powder. It is not combustible. The reactivity is 

classified as stable. The sorbent should not be mixed with acid. It may react explosively with 

maleic anhydride. Also, the sorbent may form flammable products when heated with 

phosporous. It may react with aluminum in presence of water to form hydrogen gas. 

Operators should avoid skin and eye contact to prevent irritation. Contact lenses should not 

be worn when working with the sorbent. Inhalation can cause coughing, sneezing, or 

breathing problems. The first aid procedure for sorbent contact is to flush the contaminated 

area with excess water. For eye contact, the eye should be rinsed with eye wash solution or 

excess water and medical attention should be sought. Any spilled material should be swept or 

vacuumed, stored in a sealed container, and managed in accordance with plant waste disposal 

practices.
