===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:YES Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES 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. L ONG TERM EXPOSURE TO
FUMES/GASES/DUST MAY CAUSE PULMONARY IRRITATION OR PNEUMOCONIOSIS;
& SIDEROSIS FROM IRON FUMES.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NICKEL IS CONSIDERED ANTICIPATED
CARCINOGEN BY NTP. 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 OCCUR FROM ACUTE EXPOSURE. TOXIC
GASES CAN BE FATAL.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH IMPAIRED PULMONARY
FUNCTION OR ILLNESS MAY HAVE SYMPTOMS EXACERBATED BY IRRITANTS
CONTAINED IN WELDING FUMES.
======================= 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 =====================
Extinguishing Media:NONCOMBUSTIBLE. USE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA APPROPRIATE
TO THE SURROUNDING FIRE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:TO EXTINGUISH A METAL POWDER FIRE USE DRY
SAND, OR CLASS D FIRE EXTINGUISHERS. USE WATER SPRAY TO COOL NEARBY
CONTAINERS EXPOSED TO FIRE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard: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:FLAMEPROOF GAUNTLER GLOVES
