SECTION V HEALTH HAZARD DATA lectric arc*welding may create one or more of the following health hazards: Fumes and oases can be dangerous to your alth. Arc Rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric Shock can kill. FECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: "Short-term overexposure to welding fumes may result in discomfort such as: dizziness. ia. or dryness or irritation of nose, throat, or eyes, tightness in chest, fever and allergic reactions, (see Sections 4 and Long-term (chronic) overexposure to welding fumes may lead to siderosis (iron deposit in lungs) and is believed by r investigators to attect pulmonary lunction. Nickel, chromium and their compounds are considcrzd t nogeric by OSHA. AERGENCY & FIRST aid PROCEDURES. Remove to fresh air. obtain medical attention. Employ first aid techniques commended by the American Red Cross.

Other conditions which also Influence the imposition and quantity of the fumes and gases to which workers may be exposed Include: coatings on the metal bein' elded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing), the number of welders and the volume of the work area, the quality anV~ -nount of ventilation, the position of the welder's head with respect to the fume plume, 8s well as the presence of intamlnants In the atmosphere (such as chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from cleaning and degreasing activities), hen the electrode is consumed, the lume and gas decomposition products generated are different In percent and form om the Ingredients listed In Section 2. Fume and gas decomposition products, and not the ingredients in the electrode, are -\portant. The concentration ol a given lume or gas component may decrease or increase by many times the original mcentration in the electrode. Also, new compounds not in the electrode may form. Decomposition products of normal aeration include those originating from the volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown in Section 2, plus lose from the base metal and coating, etc., as noted above. Reasonably expected fume constituents of this product could include primarily oxides of Iron secondarily complex oxides of Cellulose. aseous reaction products may include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be formed y the radiation from the arc.f in addition to the shielding gases like argon and helium whenever they are employed. >ne recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which workers are exposed is to ike an air sample from inside the welder's helmet If worn or In the worker's breathing zone. See AWS F1.1 and AWS F1.2985, available from the American Welding Society. AWS PUBLICATION: "FUMES AND GASES IN THE WELDING ENVIRONMENT" ARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: NOT APPLICABLE. SECTION VII SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES NOT APPLICABLE VASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any product residue, lisposable container or liner in an environmentally acceptable manner. In full compliance with Federal, Slate and Local egulations. SECTION VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION (See Note) Read and understand the manufacturer's Instructions and the precautionary label on the product. Ventilation - Use nough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep the fumes and gases from the worker's breBthing zone and the leneral area. Train the welder to keep his head out of the fumes. Respiratory Protection - Use respirable fume respiratory >r air supplied respirator when welding In a confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure >elow the recommended exposure limit. Eye Protection - Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. Provide protective .creens and (lash goggles. If necessary, to shield others. As a rule of thumb start with a shade that Is too dark to see the weld one. Then go the the next lighter shade which gives sufficient vlewof the weld zone. Protective Clothing - Wear hand, head, ind body protection which help to prevent Injury from radiation, sparks, and electrical shock. See ANSI Z49.1. At a ninimum this Includes welder's gloves and a protective lace shield, and may include arm protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder irotection, as well as dark substantial clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to Insulate himself from vork and ground." SECTION IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS (See Note) DTHER PRECAUTIONS: Use exhaust system to clear welding fumes. Make sure that inhaled air does not ccntair. ?i ;onstituent$ above permissible exposure levels. .iOTC' f^> ijHHiti^nql eol^fw lrt1or*T'3,'Of'' OP Wfcldinn nd C 'J!1 ` ^ ^ n C*- ~ ^ 7*0 aoieiy m winding anu Cuiung, anO the Weiamg Handbook, Voi. l.
