*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:TRAIN THE WELDER TO KEEP HIS HEAD OUT OF THE
    FUMES. USE RESPIRABLE FUME RESPIRATOR OR AIR-SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR
    WHEN WELDING IN CONFINED SPACE OF WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST OF
    VENTILATION DOES NOT KEEP EXPOSUR E BELOW TLV. SELECT AS PER OSHA
Ventilation:USE ENOUGH VENTILATION, LOCAL EXHAUST AT THE ARC, OR BOTH,
    TO KEEP THE FUMES AND GASES BELOW TLV'S IN THE WORKER'S BREATHING
    ZONE AND THE GENERAL AREA.
Other Protective Equipment:WEAR HAND, HEAD AND BODY PROTECTION WHICH
    HELP TO PREVENT INJURY FROM RADIATION, SPARKS, AND ELECTRIC SHOCK.
    FACE SHIELD.
    NECESSARY. ARM PROTECTORS, APRONS, HATS, SHOULDER PROTECTION, AS
    WELL AS DARK SUBSTANTIAL CLOTHING.
Supplemental Safety and Health
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT CONT'D; "AS A RULE OF THUMB, START WITH A SHADE
    THAT IS TOO DARK TO SEE THE WELD ZONE AND THEN GO TO THE NEXT
    ELE CTRICAL PARTS AND TO INSULATE HIMSELF FROM WORK AND GROUND."

*  Hazards Identification  *
Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES  OSHA:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:PRIMARY ROUTES OF EXPOSURE ARE
    INHALATION OF FUMES, GASES OF PARTICULATE AND INGESTION OF
    PARTICULATE. ABSORPTION THROUGH SKIN NOT LIKELY. CHRONIC EXPOSURE
    TO COPPER, ZINC AND MANGANESE MAY CAUSE META L FUME FEVER. SYMPTOMS
    OF METAL FUME FEVER INCLUDE FEVER, DRYNESS OF THROAT, HEAD AND BODY
    ACHE AND CHILL. CHRONIC EXPOSURE MAY AFFECT CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM
    LEADING TO EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCES, GAIT AN D BALANCE DIFFICULTIES
    OR PARALYSIS. OVEREXPOSURE TO COPPER MAY RESULT IN SKIN AND HAIR
    DISCOLORATION. NICKEL HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS  POTENTIAL CANCER
    CAUSING AGENT. GASEOUS REACTION PRODUCTS MAY INCL UDE CARBON
    MONOXIDE AND CARBON DIOXIDE.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CHROMIUM AND NICKEL MUST BE CONSIDERED A
    THAT CHROMIUM AND NICKEL & CERTAIN OF ITS COMPOUNDS ARE PROBABLY
    CARCINOGENIC FOR HUMANS, BUT  THE COMPOUNDS CANNOT BE SPECIFIED
    PRECISELY.
Effects of Overexposure:SHORT TERM (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE TO WELDING
    FUMES CAN LEAD TO SIDEROSIS (IRON DEPOSITS IN LUNG) AND AFFECT
    PULMONARY FUNCTION. ARC RAYS CAN INJURE EYES AND BURN SKIN. HEAT
    RAYS (INFARED RADIATING FROM  FLAME OF HOT METAL CAN INJURE EYES.
    ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL. NOISE CAN DAMAGE HEARING.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:PRE-EXISTING MEDICAL CONDITIONS
    INDIVIDUALS WITH IMPARIRED RESPIRATORY FUNCTION MAY HAVE SYMPTOMS
    WORSENED BY EXPOSURE TO WELDING FUMES.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:CALL FOR MEDICAL AID. EMPLOY FIRST AID TECHNIQUES RECOMMENDED
    BY THE AMERICAN RED CROSS. IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN.
    CALL A PHYSICIAN. IN CASE OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DISCONNECT AND TURN
    OFF PO WER. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATIN,
    PREFERABLY MOUTH TO MOUTH. IF DETECTABLE PULSE, BEGIN EXTERNAL
    HEART MASSAGE. IMMEDIATELY CALL A PHYSICIAN. IN CASE OF ARC OF
    FLAME BURN. CALL A PHYS ICIAN.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Flash Point:NONFLAMMABLE
Extinguishing Media:WELDING ARC AND SPARKS CAN IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE AND
    (REFERENCED IN SECTION VII) FOR FIRE PROTECTION INFORMATION.
Fire Fighting Procedures:NEVER USE WATER AS AN EXTINGUISHING AGENT
    AROUND MOLTEN METAL.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS: NONE
    BUT MATERIAL MAY REACT WITH ACIDS, BASES, OR OXIDIZERS. MATERIAL
    DOES NOT PRESENT A SIGNIFICANT HEALTH HAZARD UNDER NORMAL HANDLING
    AND STORAGE CONDITIONS.
