OSHA: NO
Effects of Exposure: ELEC ARC WELDING MAY CREATE ONE/MORE OF THE FOLLOWING HLTH
  HAZS: FUMES & GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS TO HLTH. ACUTE: MAY RSLT IN
  DISCOMFORT SUCH AS METAL FUME FEVER, DIZZ, NAUS/DRYNESS/IRRIT OF NOSE, THROA
  T/EYES. EXPOS TO EXTREMELY HIGH LEVELS OF FLUORIDES CAN CAUSE ABDOM PAIN,
  DIARR, MUSC WEAK, & CONVLS. (EFTS OF OVEREXP)
Signs And Symptions Of Overexposure: HLTH HAZ: IN EXTREME CASES IT CAN CAUSE
  LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS & DEATH. CHRONIC: CAN LEAD TO SIDEROSIS (IRON
  DEPOSITS IN LUNG) & MAY AFFECT PULM FUNC. MANGANESE OVEREXP CAN AFFECT
  CNS, RSLTG IN IMPAIRE D SPEECH & MOVEMENT. BRONCH & SOME LUNGFIBROSIS
  HAVE BEEN REPORTED. RPTD EXPOS TO FLUORIDES MAY CAUSE EXCESS 
Medical Cond Aggravated By Exposure: MAY AGGRAVATE PREEXISTING RESPIRATORY
  PROBLEMS (E.G., ASTHMA, EMPHYSEMA).
First Aid: CALL FOR MED AID. EMPLOY FIRST AID TECHNIQUES REC BY AMERICAN RED
  CROSS. INHAL: IF BRTHG IS DFCLT, GIVE OXYGEN. IF NOT BRTHG, EMPLOY CPR
  TECHNIQUES. IN CASE OF ELEC SHOCK, TURN OFF POWER & FOLLOW REC 
  MINS. SEE MD (FP N). SKIN: FLUSH W/COPIOUS AMTS OF WATER. SEE MD (FP N).
  INGEST: CALL MD IMMED (FP N).
