1. Chemical Product and Company Identification
Product Name: India’s Traditional Games (e.g., Kho Kho, Ludo, Gomoku)
Company/Supplier: Cultural Heritage Preservation Initiative
Emergency Contact: National Sports Federation, India
UN/NAICS Code: Cultural Activity (NAICS 711511)
2. Composition/Ingredients
Core Components:
Physical materials: Sticks (Kho Kho), dice (Ludo), Go stones (Gomoku).
Social elements: Teamwork, strategy, competition.
Cultural symbols: Regional motifs in game boards (e.g., Rangoli designs).
3. Hazards
Physical Risks:
Injuries from falls (Kho Kho) or sharp objects (e.g., traditional dices).
Allergic reactions to natural materials (e.g., bamboo sticks).
Psychological Stress:
Pressure in high-stakes competitions (e.g., national Kho Kho finals).
Environmental Impact:
Deforestation for bamboo or wood resources.
4. First-Aid Measures
Injuries:
Minor cuts: Clean with water; apply antiseptic.
sprains: Rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE protocol).
Poisoning:
If误食 toxic materials (e.g., certain plant-based dices), seek immediate medical help.
5. Fire and Explosion Hazards
Flammability:
Avoid near open flames when using wooden components.
Explosion Risk:
Non-existent for most games, except for compressed air-powered toys (rare).
6. Handling and Storage
Precautions:
Store in dry, cool places to prevent material degradation.
Keep sharp objects (e.g., traditional dice) away from children.
Incompatibilities:
Avoid contact with corrosive substances (e.g., chemicals) that may damage wooden boards.
7. Exposure Control/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls:
Use enclosed areas for games involving physical contact (e.g., Kho Kho).
PPE:
Gloves for handling sharp materials.
Safety goggles during activities with flying objects (e.g., certain traditional ball games).
8. Toxicological Information
Acute Toxicity:
Low risk from natural materials, but monitor for allergies.
Chronic Exposure:
Prolonged stress in competitive environments may lead to anxiety.
9. Ecological Information
Environmental Impact:
Sustainable sourcing of materials (e.g., bamboo) to reduce deforestation.
Biodegradable packaging for game accessories.
10. Regulatory Information
Compliance:
Adhere to BIFMA (Board of Indian Football Association) standards for Kho Kho.

Dispose of plastic dices in designated waste bins.
12. Transportation
Classifications:
Non-hazardous for most games (UN 3077, Environmentally Hazardous Substances).
13. Stability and Reactivity
Stability:
Stable under normal conditions; avoid extreme temperatures.
Reactivity:
No known reactive combinations (e.g., wooden boards + chemicals).
14. Other Information
Revolution:
Revitalizing India’s games through digital adaptations (e.g., Kho Kho apps).
