*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:USE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATORS AS SPECIFIED BY
    AN INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST OR QUALIFIED SAFETY PROFESSIONAL. LUNG
    FUNCTION TESTS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR USERS OF NEGATIVE PRESSURE
    DEVICES.
Ventilation:LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION SHOULD BE USED TO CONTROL
    EXPOSURES TO AIRBORNE DUST & FUME WHENEVER POSSIBLE.
Other Protective Equipment:PROTECTIVE CLOTHING SUCH AS UNIFORMS,
    DISPOSABLE COVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, ETC. MAY BE REQUIREDTAL
    HANDLING OPEARTIONS AS APPROPIATE TO THE CIRCUMSTANCES OF EXPOSURE.
Work Hygienic Practices:AVOID BREATHING DUST OR FUME. IF THE USE OF
    THIS MATERIAL PRODUCES DUST OR FUME, USE APPROPIATE VENTILATION
    CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT OR BOTH.

*  Hazards Identification  *
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:ACUTE-CAN CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE
    SKIN, EYE & MUCOUS MEMBRANES. CONTACT WITH CHROME, COBALT, COPPER &
    NICKEL MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTIONS. EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF
    ALUMINUM, COBALT, COPPER, MANGAN ESE, NICKEL & VANADIUM CAN CAUSE
    RESPIRATORY IRRITATION, COUGH, BRONCHITIS, CHILLS, "FUME FEVER" &
    ASTHMA0LIKE SYMPTOMS. CHRONIC-RESPIRATORY DISEASE WITH SYMPTOMS
    RANGING FROM SHORTNESS OF BREATH & CO UGH TO PERMANENT DISABILITY
    DUE TO LOSS OF LUNG FUNCTION, FIBROSIS OR SUBSEQUENT EFFECTS ON THE
    HEART MAY BE CAUSED BY EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TOD UST OR FUMES
    CONTAINING COBALT, NICKEL, TITANIUM & TUNGSTE N. CNS DEPRESSION HAS
    BEEN IDENTIFIED.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:CHROME, NICKEL AND SOME OF THEIR
    COMPOUNDS ARE LISTED BY NTP AND IARC AS CARCINOGENS.
Effects of Overexposure:INHALATION- INHALATION OF METAL DUST, FUME OR
    POWDER MAY RESULT FROM MELTING, DROSS HANDLING, CASTING, WELDING,
    GRINDING, CRUSHING OR SIMILAR OPERATIONS WHICH GENERATE AIRBORNE
    METAL PARTICULATE DURIN G USE OF THIS MATERIAL. INGESTION-HAND,
    CLOTHING, FOOD & DRINK CONTACT WITH METAL DUST/FUME/POWDER CAN
    CAUSE INGESTION OF PARTICULATE DURING HAND TO MOUTH ACTIVITIES SUCH
    AS EATING, DRINKING, SMOKING,  NAIL BITING. SKIN-CONTACT WITH THIS
    MATERIAL MAY CAUSE, IN SOME SENSITIVE INDIVIDUAL AN ALLERGIC
    RESPONSE IF ELEMENTS SUCH AS CHROME, COBALT, COPPER, & NICKEL ARE
    PRESENT, IN THE FORM OF METAL DUST/P OWDER;SKIN CONTACT MAY CAUSE
    IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WHO MAY HAVE HAD
    ALLERGIC REACTION OR SENITIVITY TO METALS MAY ENCOUNTER SKIN RASH
    OR DERMATITIS IF SKIN CONTACT WITH THIS PRODUCT OCCURS.
*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:INHALATION-BREATHING DIFFICULTY REQUIRES REMOVAL TO FRESH
    AIR. IF BREATHING HAS STOPPED, PERFORM ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION & GET
    MEDICAL AID AT ONCE. INGESTION-CAN BE TREATED BY HAVING THE
    AFFECTED PERSO N SWALLOW LARGE QUANTITIES OF WATER & ATTEMPTING TO
    INDUCE VOMITING IF CONSCIOUS. OBTAIN MEDICAL AID AT ONCE. SKIN-CUTS
    & ABRASIONS CAN BE TREATED BY STANDARD FIRST AID. CONTAMINATION CAN
    BE REMOVED B Y WASHING WITH SOAP & WATER. FOR IRRITATION OBTAIN
    MEDIAL AID. EYE-FLUSH FROM EYES WITH CLEAN WATER. FOR IRRIATION
    OBTAIN MEDICAL AID. DO NOT WEAR CONTACT ELNSES WHEN USING
    DUSTS/POWDERS.
