Refer to American National Standard Z49.1 for fire sreventlon during the use of welding and allied procedures. SECTION V HEALTH HAZARD DATA 'Electric arc-welding may create one or more of the following health hazards: Fumes and cases can be dangerous to your wealth. Are Rays can injure eyes and burn skin. Electric Shock can kill. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: "Short-term overexposure to welding fumes may result In discomfort such as: dizziness, sea, 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 siderosls (Iron deposit In lungs) and Is believed by ; s Investigators to affect pulmonary functlonJflckel and chromium compounds are required by C$)IA be considered carcinogenic.

Other conditions which also Influence the >mposltlon and quantity ol 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 ol welders and the volume ol the work area, the quality ano^ nount ol ventilation, the position of the welder's head with respect to the fume plume, as well as the presence of intaminants 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 3m the ingredients listed In Section 2. Fume and gas decomposition products, end not the Ingredients in the electrode, are iportanl. The concentration of a given fume or gas component may decrease or increase by many times the original jncentratlon In the electrode. Also, new compounds not In the electrode may form. Decomposition products of normal serellon include those originating Irom the volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown In Section 2, plus ose Irom the base metal and coating, etc., as noted above. leasonably expected fume constituents of this product could Include primarily oxides of luminuis, secondarily oxides of silicon. 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 elr sample from Inside the welder's helmet II worn or In the worker's breathing zone. See AWS F1.1 and AWS F1.2385, available from the American Welding Society. EE AWS PUBLICATION: "FUMES AND GASES IN THE WELDING ENVIRONMENT" A RDOUS POLYMERIZATION: NOT APPLICABLE. SECTION VII SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES f v NOT APPLICABLE /ASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Prevent waste Irom contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any product residue, isposable 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 el the arc, or both, to keep the fumes and gases from the worker's breathing zone and the eneral 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 flash 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 view of the weld zone. Protective Clothing - Wear hand, head, nd body protection which help to prevent Injury from radiation, sparks, and electrical shock. See ANSI Z49.1. At a ilnlmum this Includes welder's gloves and a protective lacc shield, and may Include arm protectors, aprons, hats, shoulder rotectlon.es well as dark substantial clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to Insulate himself from fork and ground." SECTION IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS (See Note) 5THER PRECAUTIONS: Use exhaust system to clear welding fumes. Make sure that Inhaled sir dess net ccr`a'n `ur onstituents above permissible exposure levels. ,,,v,- i;,..
