Biological
Limit Values No biological limit allocated.
Other No exposure standards have been established for this material by the National
Exposure Occupational Health And Safety Commission (NOHSC). However, all exposure
Information should be kept to the least possible levels as over-exposure to any chemical
may result in enhancement of pre-existing adverse medical conditions and/or
allergic reactions. Exposure standards for individual constituents are listed
above.
TWA - the Time-Weighted Average airborne concentrations over an eight-hour
working day, for a five-day working week over an entire working life.
STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit) - the average airborne concentration over a
15 minute period which should not be exceeded at any time during a normal
eight-hour work day.
According to current knowledge these concentrations should neither impair the
health of, nor cause undue discomfort to, nearly all workers.
Peak Limitation - a ceiling concentration which should not be exceeded over a
measurement period which should be as short as possible but not exceeding
15 minutes.
'Sk' notice - absorption through the skin may be a significant source of
exposure. The exposure standard is invalidated if such contact should occur.
These Exposure Standards are guides to be used in the control of occupational
health hazards. All atmospheric contamination should be kept to as low a level
as is workable. Exposure Standards should not be used as fine dividing lines
between safe and dangerous concentrations of chemicals. They are not a
measure of relative toxicity.
Engineering No special ventilation is required for the product as supplied.
Controls For welding or cutting operations, local filtered extraction may be necessary to
maintain the air concentration of fumes below the National Exposure
Standards.
Dust from processing operations should not be allowed to build up in the
workplace and should be removed for disposal. If possible, cleanup should be
undertaken using a vacuum with a high efficiency filter. Ensure dust
generation during cleanup is minimized, using appropriate work practices.
Respiratory Not normally required. However, if engineering controls are not effective in
Protection controlling airborne exposure then respiratory protective equipment should be
used suitable for protecting against airborne contaminants. Final choice of
appropriate breathing protection is dependant upon actual airborne
concentrations and the type of breathing protection required will vary
according to individual circumstances. Expert advice may be required to make
this decision. Reference should be made to Australian Standards AS/NZS
1715, Selection, Use and maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices; and
AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective Devices.
Eye Protection Safety glasses with side shields, goggles or full-face shield as appropriate
recommended. Final choice of appropriate eye/face protection will vary
according to individual circumstances i.e. methods of handling or engineering
controls and according to risk assessments undertaken. Eye protection should
conform with Australian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1337 - Eye Protectors
for Industrial Applications.
Hand
Cut resistant or leather gloves should be worn when handling strip or sheet
Protection
steel, to avoid cuts from splinters, burrs or sharp edges.
A rubber dipped glove may be necessary to avoid skin contact with chromium
surface treatments,

Final choice of appropriate gloves will vary according to individual
circumstances i.e. methods of handling or according to risk assessments
undertaken. Reference should be made to AS/NZS 2161.1: Occupational
protective gloves - Selection, use and maintenance.

11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Inhalation Not expected to be inhaled in the form supplied.
Slitting and/or roll forming operations can generate dust particles from the
resin coating which may cause irritation if inhaled.
Ingestion Not expected to be swallowed in the form supplied.
Skin Sharp burrs on the edges of steel products can cause lacerations to
unprotected skin. Burns may result from contact with hot surfaces.
Eye Not irritating to eyes in the form supplied.
Dust: may cause mechanical irritation. May result in mild abrasion.
Chronic Effects Chronic exposure to iron oxide fumes over the standard may lead to Siderosis
which is a benign lung condition.
Chronic exposure to manganese fumes over the standard may lead to
disorders of the nervous and reproductive systems.
