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: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 .

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
33126.

Handling and Storage Precautions:READ & UNDERSTAND MANUFACTURER'S
INSTRUCTIONS AND THE PRECAUTIONARY LABEL ON THE PRODUCT. SEE
AMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD Z49.1."SAFETY IN WELDING AND CUTTING"
PUBLISHED BY THE AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY , 550 N.W. LEJEUNE ROAD,
MIAMI FL, 33126 & OSHA PUBLICATION 2206 (29 CFR 1910), (OTHER
PRECAUTIONS)
Other Precautions:HANDLING & STORAGE (CONT): U.S. GOVERNMENT PRINTING
OFFICE, WASHINGTON, D.C. 20402 FOR MORE DETAILS ON SAFE HANDLING
AND USE.

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
LLY LIVE PARTS OR ELECTRODES TO CONTACT SKIN, OR CLOTHING OR GLOVES
IF THEY ARE WET. INSULATE FROM WORK AND GROUND.

Appearance and Odor:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER

Stability Indicator/Materials to Avoid:YES
Hazardous Decomposition Products:WELDING FUMES & GASES CANNOT BE
CLASSIFIED SIMPLY. COMPOSITION AND QUANTITY OF BOTH ARE DEPENDENT
UPON METAL BEING WELDED, PROCESS, PROCEDURE , ELECTRODES USED.
OTHER CONDITIONS WHICH (ECOLOGICAL INFO)

Waste Disposal Methods:DISPOSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH ALL APPLICABLE
FEDERAL, STATE AND LOCAL REGULATIONS . DISCARD ANY PRODUCT,
RESIDUE, DISPOSABLE CONTAINER, OR LINER AS ORDINARY WASTE IN AN
ENVIRONMENTALLY ACCEPTABLE M ANNER UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED.

Toxicological Information:THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE: THE ACGIH RECOMMENDED
GENERAL LIMIT FOR WELDING FUME NOC (NOT OTHERWISE CLASSIFIED) IS 5
MG/M3. ACGIH-1987-88 PREFACE STATES THAT THE TLV-TWA SHOULD BE USED
AS GUIDES IN THE CON TROL OF HEALTH HAZARDS AND SHOULD NOT BE USED
AS FINE LINES BETWEEN SAFE AND DANGEROUS CONCENTRATIONS. SEE
SPECIFIC FUME CONSTITUENTS WHICH MAY MODIFY THIS TLV. THRESHOLD
LIMIT VALUES ARE FIGURES PUBL ISHED BY THE AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF
GOVERNMENT INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS. UNITS ARE MILLIGRAMS PER CUBIC
METER OF AIR. MAXIMUM FUME EXPOSURE GUIDELINE AND PEL FOR THIS
PRODUCT IS 5.0 MILLIGRAMS PER CUBIC METER.
