=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:NO    IARC:NO	OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ELECTRIC ARC WELDING MAY CREATE ONE OR
    MORE OF THE FOLLOWING HEALTH HAZARDS: FUMES AND GASES CAN BE
    DANGEROUS TO HEALTH. COMMON ENTRY IS BY INHALATION. ACUTE: WELDING
    FUMES MAY RESULT IN DISCOMFORT SU CH AS DIZZINESS, NAUSEA, DRYNESS
    OR IRRITATION OF NOSE, THROAT OR EYES. EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS OF
    FLUORIDES CAN CAUSE ABDOMINAL PAIN, DIRRAHEA, MUSCULAR WEAKNESS,
    CONVULSIONS.  IT CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CON SCIOUSNESS AND DEATH. ARC
    RAYS CAN INJURE EYES AND BURN SKIN. ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL.
    CHRONIC: WELDING FUMES CAN LEAD TO SIDEROSIS (IRON DEPOSITS IN
    LUNG) AND AFFECT PULMONARY FUNCTION.   (SIGNS & SY MPTOMS OF
    OVEREXPOSURE)
Effects of Overexposure:HEALTH HAZARDS ACUTE AND CHRONIC (CON'T):
    REPEATED EXPOSURE TO FLUORIDE FUME MAY CAUSE EXCESSIVE
    CALCIFICATION OF THE BONE AND CALCIFICATION OF LIGAMENTS OF THE
    RIBS, PELVIS AND SPINAL COLUMN. MAY CAU SE SKIN RASH.

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:CALL FOR MEDICAL AID. EMPLOY FIRST AND TECHNIQUES RECOMMENDED
    BY THE AMERICAN RED CROSS. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT GIVE OXYGEN.
    IF NOT BREATHING EMPLOY CPR (CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION)
    TECHNIQUES.  IN CASE OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, TURN OFF POWER AND FOLLOW
    RECOMMENDED TREATMENT. IN ALL CASES CALL A PHYSICIAN. INHALATION:
    REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. SUPPORT BREATHING. CONTACT A PHYSICIAN
    IMMEDIATELY .  EYES: TREAT FOR EYE AND SKIN BURNS. CONTACT A
    PHYSICIAN .

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Flash Point:NON FLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:USE MEDIA APPROPRIATE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE .
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING
    APPARATUS AND FULL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NON FLAMMABLE. WELDING ARCS AND SPARKS
    CAN IGNITE COMBUSTIBLES AND FLAMMABLE PRODUCTS. SEE AMERICAN
    NATIONAL STANDARD Z49.1, 'SAFETY IN WELDING AND CUTTING'  PUBLISHED
    BY THE AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY,  550 N.W.	LEJEUNE ROAD, MIAMI, FL

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:USE A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR APPROPRIATE FOR
    EXPOSURE OF CONCERN . USE RESPIRABLE FUME RESPIRATOR OR AIR
    SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR WHEN WELDING IN CONFINED SPACE OR GENERAL WORK
    AREA WHEN LOCAL EXH AUST OR VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE
    BELOW TLV.
Ventilation:USE ENOUGH VENTILATION, LOCAL EXHAUST AT THE ARC, OR BOTH
    TO KEEP THE FUMES AND GASES FROM THE WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE AND
    THE GENERAL AREA. (WORK HYGIENE)
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:WEAR HELMET OR USE FACE SHIELD WITH FILTER LENS (WORK
    HYGENIC PRAC)
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR HAND, HEAD, AND BODY PROTECTION WHICH
    HELP TO PREVENT INJURY FROM RADIATION, SPARKS AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
    SEE Z49.1. AT A MINIMUM THIS INCLUDES WELDER'S GLOVES AND (SUPPL.
    SAFETY)
Work Hygienic Practices:N/P.  EYE PROTECTION (CONT): SHADE NUMBER 14 OR
    DARKER. SHIELD OTHERS BY PROVIDING SCREENS AND FLASH GOGGLES. 
    VENTILATION (CONT): TRAIN WELDER TO KEEP HIS HEAD OUT OF THE FUMES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
OTHER PROTECT EQUIPMENT (CON'T): A PROTECTIVE FACE SHIELD, AND MAY
    INCLUDE ARM PROTECTORS, APRONS, HATS, SHOULDER PROTECTION, AS WELL
    AS DARK SUBSTANTIAL CLOTHING. TRAIN WELDER NOT TO PERMIT ELECTRICA
