Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES IARC:YES OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:STEEL PRODUCTS DO NOT PRESENT AN
INHALATION, INJECTION, OR CONTACT HAZARD. OPERATIONS SUCH AS
WELDING, BURNING, SAWING, GRINDING, BRAZING MAY RESULT IN FOLLOWING
EFFECTS IF EXPOSURES EXCEED PERMISSIBL E LIMITS: ACUTE: FUMES FROM
METALS CAN PRODUCE A REACTION KNOWN AS "METAL FUME FEVER".
DERMATITIS DUE TO SENSITIZATION MAY OCCUR IN SOME INDIVIDUALS.
CHRONIC: EXCESSIVE OVEREXPOSURE OF NICKEL AND CHRO MIUM CAN CAUSE
VARIOUS FORMS OF DERMATITIS, INFLAMMATION, ULCERATION OF UPPER
RESPIRATORY TRACT AND CANCER. IRON FUMES CAN CAUSE SIDEROSIS.
MANGANESE FUMES CAN CAUSE BRONCHITIS, PNEUMONICIS, INCOORDIN ATION.
COPPER: PULMONARY EFFECTS.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:EXCESSIVE OVEREXPOSURE OF FUMES,AND
DUSTS FROM OPERATIONS SUCH AS WELDING, BURNING, SAWING, GRINDING,
BRAZING, THAT EXCEED PERMISSIBLE LIMITS, OF BOTH CHROMIUM AND
NICKEL HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH UPP ER RESPIRATORY CANCER.
Effects of Overexposure:EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF FUMES FROM METALS CAN
PRODUCE AN ACUTE REACTION KNOWN AS "METAL FUME FEVER". SYMPTOMS
CONSIST OF CHILLS AND FEVER WHICH COME ON A FEW HOURS AFTER
EXPOSURE. DERMATITIS DUE TO S ENSITIZATION MAY OCCURE IN SOME
INDIVIDUALS. INFLAMMATION AND/OR ULCERATION OF UPPER RESPIRATORY
TRACT. BOTH CHROMIUM AND NICKEL HAVE BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH UPPER
RESPIRATORY CANCER. IRON FUMES CAN CA USE SIDEROSIS. MANGANESE
FUMES CAN CAUSE BRONCHITIS, PNEUMONICIS, LACK OF COORDINATION.
COPPER CAN CAUSE PULMONARY EFFECTS.

First Aid:IN CASE OF EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE, REMOVE TO FRESH AIR,
ADMINISTER OXYGEN AND SEEK PHYSICIAN'S ASSISTANCE.

Respiratory Protection:FOR WELDING, BURNING, GRINDING AND CUTTING
OPERATIONS, LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION SHOULD BE PROVIDED, IF FUMES
OR DUST CANNOT BE CONTROLLED WITH EXHAUST VENTILATION, AN
APPROPTIATE NIOSH-APPROVED RESPI RATOR SHOULD BE USED TO PREVENT
EXCESSIVE INHALATION EXPOSURE.
Ventilation:FOR WELDING, BURNING, GRINDING, AND CUTTING OPERATIONS
PROVIDE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION.
Protective Gloves:GLOVES MAY BE NECESSARY TO PREVENT SKIN SENSITIZATION
AND DERMATITIS.
Eye Protection:WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES WHEN WELDING OR WORKING
WITH METAL DUSTS.
