===================== Hazards Identification =====================
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES Skin:NO Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO IARC:NO OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:INHALATION: NOSE IRRITATION & LUNG
CHANGES, METAL FUME FEVER, & PULMONARY FIBROSIS/DISEASES. SKIN &
EYE IRRITATION.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NONE
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION: FLULIKE SYMPTOMS, SWEET TASTE IN
MOUTH, DRYNESS, COUGH, GENERALIZED ACHING, NAUSEA, VOMITING,
CHILLS, FEVER, PROFUSE SWEATING, WEAKNESS. SKIN/HAIR DISCOLORATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PULMONARY & CARDIAC DISEASES FOR
ZINC OXIDE. WILSON'S DISEASE FOR COPPER.
======================= First Aid Measures =======================
Eyes: FLUSH W/WATER. SKIN: VACUUM OFF EXCESS DUST. WASH
W/PLENTY OF SOAP & WATER. IF MATERIAL IS MOLTEN, TREAT AS A BURN.
INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. INGESTION: FOR LARGE QUANTITIES,
INDUCE VOMIT ING IF CONSCIOUS. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN ALL
CASES.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Flash Point:NON-FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:CO2, DRY CHEMICAL OR DRY SAND. DON'T USE WATER OR
MOIST SAND. ZINC ALLOYS WILL NOT BURN IN THE SOLID STATE.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FULL BODY PROTECTIVE CLOTHING & FULL
FACEPIECE INCLUDING SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS OPERATED IN
POSITIVE-PRESSURE MODE.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NEVER PUT WATER ON MOLTEN METAL; IT WILL
EXPLODE. IF POWDER/DUST IS EXPOSED TO IGNITION SOURCE/CONTACTS
POWERFUL OXIDIZERS, CAN LIBERATE EXPLOSIVE HYDROGEN GAS.
================== Accidental Release Measures ==================
Spill Release Procedures:WEAR GLOVES TO PREVENT METAL CUTS. REMOVE BY
VACUUMING/WET SWEEPING TO PREVENT HEAVY CONCENTRATIONS OF AIRBORNE
DUST. DON'T USE COMPRESSED AIR FOR CLEANING. WEAR RESPIRATORY
PROTECTION & PROTECTIVE CL OTHING. PLACE COLLECTED METAL IN LABELED
CONTAINER
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:STORE METAL IN DRY AREA AWAY FROM
INCOMPATIBLE MATERIALS. AVOID STORAGE NEAR HYDROGEN PEROXIDE. KEEP
DUST AWAY FROM IGNITION SOURCES.
Other Precautions:PREHEAT METAL WHEN REQUIRED TO EVAPORATE SURFACES
MOISTURE PRIOR TO MELTING. ICE/SNOW/GREASE/OIL/MOISTURE CAN CAUSE
EXPLOSIONS. REMOVE THESE CONTAMINANTS BEFORE CHARGING INGOT TO
MELTING FURNACE.
============= Exposure Controls/Personal Protection =============
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATORS FOR AIRBORNE
DUSTS/FUMES
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST OR GENERAL TO KEEP AIRBORNE CONCENTRATIONS OF
DUST/FUME BELOW PEL/TLV
Protective Gloves:REQUIRED
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES
Other Protective Equipment:FACE SHIELDS, BARRIER CREAM
Work Hygienic Practices:REMOVE/LAUNDER CONTAMINATED BEFORE REUSE. WASH
SKIN BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, USE TOBACCO PRODUCTS OR USING
RESTROOMS.
Supplemental Safety and Health
TAKE A SHOWER & CHANGE CLOTHES AT THE END OF THE SHIFT. ALL PROTECTIVE
& CONTAMINATED CLOTHING MUST BE LEFT AT THE PLANT. DON'T USE
COMPRESSED AIR FOR BLOWING DUST OFF CLOTHING. CUTTING, WELDING,
MECH ANICAL PROCESSING, ETC. MAY PRODUCE DUSTS OR FUMES WHICH
PRESENT POTENTIALLY SIGNIFICANT HEALTH HAZARDS.
