    This document provides information on silicon including its composition, hazards, safe handling and storage, exposure controls, and disposal considerations. Silicon is a solid grey or brown crystalline material that is 100% silicon by weight. It is hazardous if inhaled and slightly hazardous if it contacts skin or is ingested. Proper precautions such as using safety glasses, lab coat, and dust respirator are recommended when handling. Silicon should be stored in a cool, well-ventilated area in a tightly closed container and kept away from heat and ignition sources.
