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 OCCUR 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: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.

Extinguishing Media:NONFLAMMABLE. USE SAND OR REFER TO ANS Z49.1 FOR
FIRE PREVENTION DURING WELDING.
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR FIRE FIGHTING PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT AND A
FULL FACED SELF CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUS. COOL FIRE EXPOSED
CONTAINERS WITH WATER SPRAY.
