HMIS Rating:
Health = 1 = slight
Fire = 0
Reactivity, and Special = 0 = minimal

Eye Contact:         Mild Eye Irritant.                                       
Skin Contact:        No adverse effects expected under typical use conditions.
                     Prolonged exposure may cause dryness. Under this         
                     condition, use of gloves or skin moisturizer after       
                     washing may be indicated.                                
Ingestion:           May cause stomach or intestinal upset if swallowed (due  
                     to detersive properties.)                                
Inhalation:          No adverse effects expected under typical use conditions.
                     Adequate ventilation should be present when using Simple 
                     Green® over a prolonged period of time. Open windows or  
                     ventilate via fan or other air-moving equipment if       
                     necessary.

Inventory.
This product does not contain any ingredients covered by the provisions of 29
CFR 1910.1200.


Section 4: FIRST AID MEASURES

Eye Contact:    Reddening may develop. Immediately rinse the eye with large 
                quantities of cool water; continue 10-15 minutes or until   
                the material has been removed; be sure to remove contact    
                lenses, if present, and to lift upper and lower lids during 
                rinsing. Get medical attention if irritation persists.      
Skin Contact:   Minimal effects, if any; rinse skin with water, rinse shoes 
                and launder clothing before reuse. Reversible reddening may 
                occur in some dermal-sensitive users; thoroughly rinse area 
                and get medical attention if reaction persists.             
Swallowing;     Essentially non-toxic. Give several glasses of water to     
                dilute; do not induce vomiting. If stomach upset occurs,    
                consult physician.                                          
Inhalation:     Non-toxic. Exposure to concentrate may cause mild irritation
                of nasal passages or throat; remove to fresh air. Get       
                medical attention if irritation persists.

Section 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Exposure Limits:      The Simple Green® formulation presents no health hazards
                      to the user when used according to label directions for 
                      its intended purposes. Mild skin and eye irritation is  
                      possible (please see Eye contact and Skin contact in    
                      section IV.) No special precautionary measures required 
                      under normal use conditions.                            
Ventilation:          No special ventilation, precautions or respiratory      
                      protection is required during normal use. Large-scale   
                      use indoors should provide an increased rate of air     
                      exchange.                                               
Human Health Effects  Adverse effects on human health are not expected from   
or Risks From         Simple Green®, based on 20 years of use of Simple Green®
Exposure:             without reported adverse health incidence in diverse    
                      population groups, including extensive use by inmates of
                      U.S. Federal prisons in cleaning operations             
Eye protection:       Simple Green® is a mild eye irritant; mucous membranes  
                      may become irritated by concentrate. Eye protection not 
                      generally required. Wash hands after using wipes.       
Skin protection:      Simple Green® is not likely to irritate the skin in the 
                      majority of users. Repeated daily application to the    
                      skin without rinsing, or continuous contact on the skin 
                      may lead to temporary, but reversible, irritation. Rinse
                      completely from skin after contact.                     
General hygiene       There are no known hazards associated with this material

Section 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Toxicology information is based on chemical profile of ingredients and
extrapolation of data from similar formulas.

Acute Toxicity:     Oral LD50 (rat)       >5 g/kg body weight*                  
                   Dermal LD50 (rabbit)  >2 g/kg body weight
                    *Calculation from OECD series on testing and              
                    assessment number 33, Chapter 3.2                         
                                                                              
Eye Irritation:     Moderate/Mild reversible eye irritation may occur based on
                    relevant laboratory studies. This potential is reduced by 
                    immediate rinsing of eyes in case of eye contact.         
Dermal Irritation:  Mild, reversible skin irritation may occur based on       
                    relevant laboratory studies. A 6-hour exposure to human   
                    skin under a patch did not produce irritation.            
Repeat Exposure     Based on relevant laboratory studies, no toxic effects are
Via Skin Contact:   expected to be associated with daily skin exposures (with 
                    up to 2 g/kg/day tested for 13 weeks on rabbits). Skin    
                    irritation may, however, occur with repeated or prolonged 
                    exposures.                                                
Reproductive        Based on relevant laboratory studies (CD-1 mouse 18-week  
Effects Assessment: fertility assessment continuous breeding), no adverse     
                    effects on reproduction, fertility, or health of offspring
                    are expected.                                             


Section 12: ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Hazard to wild animals & aquatic organisms: Low, based on toxicological
                                            profile.

Biodegradability: Readily biodegradable based on biodegradation profile,
PRO/FT CBT-AC 014-7 "Ready Biodegradability: Closed Bottle Test" OECD, and OECD
302B laboratory tests

Environmental Toxicity Information: It is important not to allow the runoff
from cleaning into closed systems such as decorative ponds. Always protect
closed systems with tarps or dikes if necessary.


Section 13: DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
