===================== Hazards Identification =====================
LD50 LC50 Mixture:UNCLASSIFIED WELDING FUMES=5MG/M3 PEL
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SHORT TERM EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES,
GASES OR DUST MAY RESULT IN DISCOMFORT SUCH AS DIZZINESS, NAUSEA,
FEVER, DRYNESS AND/OR IRRITATION OF NOSE, THROAT AND EYES. SKIN
SENSITIVITY MAY ALSO BE NOTED. A CUTE EXPOSURE FROM SOME TOXIC
GASES MAYCAUSE PULMONARY EDEMA, ASPHYXIATION AND EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE
CAN BE FATAL.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NICKEL AND CHROMIUM ARE CONSIDERED
POSSIBLE CARCINOGENS UNDER OSHA. RESPIRATORY CANCER FROM WELDING IS
UNCONFIRMED.
Effects of Overexposure:EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES MAY RESULT IN
DISCOMFORT SUCH AS DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, FEVER, DRYNESS AND/OR
IRRITATION OF NOSE, THROAT AND EYES. SKIN SENSITIVITY MAY ALSO BE
NOTED. WATERY EYES, HEADACHE, BREA THING DIFFICULTY, FREQUENT
COUGHING AND/OR CHEST PAINS MAY OCCURE FROM ACUTE EXPOSURE. TOXIC
GASES CAN BE FATAL.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:SOME WORKERS MAY BE AFFECTED BY A
PRE-EXISTING CONDITION OR OTHER OCCUPATIONAL ILLNESS BECAUSE OF THE
WIDE VARIATION IN INDIVIDUAL SUSCEPTIBILITIES.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:IN CASE OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, TURN OFF POWER PRIOR TO REMOVAL
FROM EXPOSURE AREA AND ADMINISTRATION OF FIRST AID. REMOVE FROM
EXPOSURE AREA AND CALL FOR MEDICAL AID. ADMINISTER OXYGEN IF
BREATHING IS D IFFICULT. IF NOT BREATHING, BEGIN ARTIFICIAL
RESPIRATION. IF NO DETECTABLE PULSE, BEGIN EXTERNAL HEART MASSAGE.
EMPLOY FIRST AID TECHNIQUES RECOMMENDED BY THE AMERICAN RED CROSS.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NONE
Extinguishing Media:USE ANY MEDIA SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE LIKE
WATER FOG, CARBON DIOXIDE, FOAM, OR DRY CHEMICAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA &
FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN FIGHTING CHEMICAL FIRE. USE WATER
SPRAY TO COOL NEARBY CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NONE EXPECTED;FIRE OR EXCESSIVE HEAT MAY
CAUSE PRODUCTION OF HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:CLEAN UP ANY GRINDING DUST OR WASTE RESIDUES
AND PLACE IN SUITABLE DOT APPROVED CONTAINERS AND DISPOSE OF IN
FULL COMPLIANCE WITH FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS. AVOID
INHALATION AND SKIN EXPOSU RE.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:WEAR GLOVES AND FLAME RETARDANT
CLOTHING WHEN CUTTING, GRINDING OR WELDING. DO NOT EXPOSE SKIN TO
RADIATION WHEN HOT CUTTING OR WELDING.
Other Precautions:PROVIDE PROTECTIVE SCREENS TO SHIELD OTHERS. WHEN
ELECTRODES AND FLUXES ARE CONSUMED, THE FUME AND GAS DECOMPOSITION
PRODUCTS GENERATED ARE DIFFERENT IN FORM FROM THE INGREDIENTS
LISTED. NEW COMPOUNDS NOT IN THE ELECTRODES MAY FORM.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE WELD FUME RESPIRATOR OR AIR SUPPLIED
RESPIRATOR WHEN CUTTING, GRINDING OR WELDING IN A CONFINED SPACE OR
WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST OR GENERAL VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE
BELOW RECOMMENDED LIMITS. USE ONLY NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORS.
Ventilation:USE ENOUGH VENTILATION WHEN CUTTING, GRINDING OR WELDING TO
KEEP THE DUST, FUMES & GASES FROM THE WORKERS BREATHING ZONE
Protective Gloves:WELDERS LEATHER GLOVES
Eye Protection:OSHA APPROVED GOGGLES/FACE SHIELD W/LENS
Other Protective Equipment:FLAME RETARDANT CLOTHING WHEN CUTTING,
GRINDING OR WELDING. DO NOT EXPOSE SKIN TO RADIATION WHEN HOT
CUTTING OR WELDING.
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH THOROUGHLY BEFORE EATING OR SMOKING.
LAUNDER CONTAMINATIED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSE.
Supplemental Safety and Health
WELDING AND HOT CUTTING FUMES & GASES CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED SIMPLY.
THEIR COMPOSITION AND QUANTITY ARE DEPENDENT ON THE METAL BEING
WELDED, THE PROCEDURES, PROCESSES AND THE TYPE OF WIRE OR
