*  First Aid Measures  *
First Aid:EYES: METAL PARTICLES SHOULD BE REMOVED BY TRAINED
    INDIVIDUALS SUCH AS NURSE OR PHYSICIAN. IF DISCOMFORT OR IRRITATION
    PERSISTS, OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION. SKIN: WASH WITH SOAP AND WATER.
    INHALATION: ( FUMES FROM WELDING) MOVE TO FRESH AIR. INGESTION: IF
    LARGE AMOUNTS INGESTED, OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
*  Fire Fighting Measures  *
Extinguishing Media:USE MEDIA SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE CONDITIONS
    .
Fire Fighting Procedures:WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA AND FULL
    PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:CASTINGS WILL NOT BURN OR EXPLODE.
*  Accidental Release Measures  *
Spill Release Procedures:IF DAMAGED, RETURN CASTINGS TO VENDOR OR SEND
    TO SCRAP RECLAIMER. COLLECTED DUST FROM MACHINING, WELDING, ETC.,
    MAY BE CLASSED AS "HAZARDOUS WASTE" DEPENDING ON CIRCUMSTANCES.
    CONSULT LOCAL AUTHORITIE S REGARDING DISPOSAL.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
*Handling and Storage  *
Handling and Storage Precautions:BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL HAZARD FROM METAL
    DUST AND FUMES, MACHINING, GRINDING, WELDING OPERATIONS ETC. SHOULD
    BE DONE UNDER LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION.
Other Precautions:IF VENT IS NOT ADEQ, WEAR NIOSH/MSHA APPRVD DUST/FUME
    RESP. MACHINING, GRINDING, FLAME CUTTING, OR WELDING ON CASTINGS
    WILL CREATE AIR CONTAMS. SINCE CASTING CONTAINS MOSTLY CHROMIUM
