SITE TO KEEP ALL FUMES & DUSTS FROM WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE & THE
GENERAL AREA.
Protective Gloves:WELDER'S GLOVES.
Eye Protection:ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORK GOGGS & FULL LGTH FSHLD W/APPROP

AS DARK PROT CLTHG.
Work Hygienic Practices:ALWAYS WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER USE. DO NOT
WEAR CONTACT LENSES.
Supplemental Safety and Health
EFTS OF OVEREXP:THESE SYMPS DEVEL AFTER WELDING OPERATION. GEN NUISANCE
DUSTS:LISTED AS PARTICLES NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED, TLV/PEL=10/15
MG/M3). MOST NUISANCE DUSTS ARE INERT, NONTOX & CHEMICALLY NON
IRRIT. SKIN CONT HAS SHOWN NO PROBS OTHER THAN POSS DRYING & MECH

Hazardous Decomposition Products:FLUXES & INERT CHEM AIDS:IN PRESENCE
OF WATER & HEAT FLUXES MAY GIVE OFF HCL & HF. FLAMM:TERM "HAZ"
SHOULD BE INTERPRETED AS TERM DEFINED IN OSHA HAZ COMMUNICATION STD
(29 CFR 1910.1200)(TRANSPORT INFO)

Waste Disposal Methods:DISPOSE OF WASTE MATERIAL, POWDERS, GRINDING OR
FILTER RESIDUES IN ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE MANNER I/A/W FEDERAL,
STATE & LOCAL REGULATIONS. USE APPROPRIATE MEASURES TO KEEP
AIRBORNE DUST LEVELS CONT AINED I/A/W EXPOSURE LEVELS.
