*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRABLE FUME RESPIRATOR OR
    AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR WHEN WELDING IN CONFINED SPACE OR WHERE
    LOCAL EXHAUST OR VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSURE BELOW TLV.
Ventilation:USE ENOUGH VENT, LOCAL EXHAUST AT ARC OR BOTH, TO KEEP
    FUMES & GASES BELOW TLVS IN WORKER'S BRTHG ZONE & GEN AREA. TRAIN
    WELDER TO KEEP HIS HEAD OUT OF FUMES.
    (TOXICOLOGICAL INFO)
Other Protective Equipment:ANSI APPRVD EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER . WEAR
    HEAD, HAND & BODY PROT WHICH HELP TO PVNT INJURY FROM RADIA, SPKS &
    (TOXICOLOGICAL INFO)
Work Hygienic Practices:TRAIN THE WELDER NOT TO TOUCH LIVE ELECTRICAL
    PARTS AND TO INSULATE HIMSELF FROM WORK AND GROUND.

*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INGESTION: CALL MD IMMEDIATELY . EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES
    . SKIN: FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. CALL MD (FP N ). IN
    CASE OF EMERGENCY, CALL FOR MEDICAL AID. EMPLOY FIRST AID TECHNIQUE
    RECOMMENDED BY RED CROSS. INHALATION: IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT,
    GIVE OXYGEN AND CALL FOR MD. FOR ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT A ND
    TURN OFF THE POWER. IF NOT BREATHING, BEGIN ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION,
    PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH. IF NO DETECTABLE PULSE, BEGIN CPR.
    IMMEDIATELY CALL MD. FOR ARC BURN, APPLY COLD, CLEAN COMPRESSES & C
    ALL MD.
