*  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, LOC EXHST AT ARC OR BOTH, TO KEEP FUMES &
    GASES BELOW TLV'S IN WORKER'S BRTHG ZONE & GEN AREA. TRAIN WELDER
    TO KEEP HIS/HER HEAD OUT OF FUMES.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR HEAD, HAND & BODY PROT WHICH HELP PVNT
    APRONS, HATS, (OTHER INFO)
Supplemental Safety and Health
EFTS OF OVEREXP: CHRONIC FLUORIDE ABSORPTION CAN CAUSE SCLEROSIS OF
    BONES & MOTTLED TEETH. OVEREXP TO MANGANESE CMPDS MAY AFFECT CNS,
    SYMPS OF WHICH ARE LANGOUR, SLEEPINESS, MUSC WEAK, EMOTIONAL DISTU
    RBS & SPASTIC GAIT. OVEREXP TO RESPIRABLE CRYSTALINE SILICA MAY
    RSLT IN SILICOSIS, A DISABLING LUNG DISEASE.

Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SILICA, CRYSTALLINE-QUARTZ: IARC
Effects of Overexposure:HLTH HAZS: SUCH AS WATERY EYES, NOSE & THROAT
    IRRIT, HDCH, DIZZ, DFCLTY BRTHG, FREQUENT COUGH OR CHEST PAIN. DUST
    GENERATED FROM POURING/OTHERWISE HNDLG FLUX MAY ALSO CAUSE IRRIT OF
    EYES, LUNGS, NOSE  & THROAT. INGEST OF BARIUM OXIDE CAN RSLT IN SEV
    PAIN, VOMIT, PARALYSIS & DEATH. CHRONIC OVEREXP TO AIR CONTAMINANTS
    MAY LEAD TO THEIR ACCUM IN LUNGS, CNDTN WHICH MAY BE SEEN AS DENSE
    AREAS ON CHEST X -RAYS. SEVERITY OF CHG IS PROPORTIONAL TO LENGTH
    OF EXPOS. CHGS SEEN ARE NOT NECESSARILY ASSOC W/SYMPS OR SIGNS OF

*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INGEST: CALL MD IMMEDIATELY .  EYES: IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES
    SKIN: FLUSH W/COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. CALL MD . IN CA SE OF EMER,
    CALL FOR MED AID. EMPLOY FIRST AID TECHNIQUE RECOM BY RED CROSS. IF
    BRTHG IS DFCLT, GIVE OXYG & CALL MD. FOR ELEC SHOCK, DISCONNECT &
    TURN OFF POWER. IF NOT BRTHG, BEGIN ARTF RESP, PREF MO
    UTH-TO-MOUTH. IF NO DETECTABLE PULSE, BEGIN CPR. IMMED CALL MD. FOR
    ARC BURN, APPLY COLD, CLEAN COMPRESSES & CALL MD.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:PRODUCT WILL NOT BURN. HOWEVER, WELDING ARCS & SPKS
    CAN IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE & FLAMMABLE MATERIALS. USE EXTINGUISHING
    MEDIA RECOMMENDED FOR BURNING MATERIALS & FIRE SITUATION.
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH APPROVED SCBA AND FULL PROTECTIVE
