Refer to American National Standard Z49.1 for prevention 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 oases can be dangerous to health. Arc flays can Injure eyes and burn akin. Blectrlc Shock can kill. EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE: "Short-term overexposure to welding fumes may result In dlscoml rt such as: dlzxlr nausea, or dryness or Irritation of nose, throat, or ayes, tightness In chest, fever and allergic reactions, (sea Sections 4 7)." "Long-term (chronic) overexposure to welding fumes may lead tc aldarosls (Iron deposit In lungs) and Is believe ome Investigators to affect pulmonary function. * FIRST AID PROCEDURES: Remove So .Vss:-. 5!.'. obis:.-, rr.zz:: recommended by Ihe American Red Cross. tCnnllmied on Ravers# S D0 A 061534 CONFTDENTTAI REACTIVITY DATA 8TABILITY: UNSTABLE: NOCONDITIONS TO AVOID: NONE: UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED STABLE: YESCONDITIONS TO AVOID: NONE: UNLEB8 OTHERWISE SPECIFIED 'COMPATIBILITY (MATERIALS TO AVOID!: NONE_______________________________________________________ aZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: The composition and quality of welding fumes and gases are dependen upon the metal being welded, the process, procedure, and electrodes used. Other conditions which also Influence thi composition and quantity of the fumes and gases to which workers may be exposed Include: coatings on the metal bei-welded (such as paint, plating, or galvanizing), the number of welders and the volume of the work area, the quality ^ amount of ventilation, the position of the welder's head with respect to the fume plume, as well as the presence 6 contaminants In the atmosphere (such as chlorinated hydrocarbon vapors from cleaning and degreasing activities). When the electrode Is consumed, the fume and gas decomposition products generated are different In percent and torn from the ingredients listed in Section 2. Fume and gas decomposition products, and not the Ingredients in the electrod , an Important. The concentration of a given fume or gas component may decrease or Increase by many times the origins concentration In the electrode. AI60, new compounds not In the electrode may form. Decomposition products of norms operation Include those originating from the volatilization, reaction, or oxidation of the materials shown In Section 2, plu; those from the base metal and coating, etc., as noted above. Reasonably expected fume constituents of thie product could include primarily oxides of iron secondarily complex oxides of manganese & silicon & aluminum. Gaseous reaction products may Include carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide. Ozone and nitrogen oxides may be former by the radiation from the arc, in addition to the shielding gases like argon and carbon dioxide whenever they are employed. One recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fumes and gases to which workers are exposed Is (c take an air sample from Inside the welder's helmet If worn or In the worker's breathing zone. See AWS Ft .1 and AWS FI.2 1985, available from the American Welding Society. SEE AWS PUBLICATION: "FUMES AND GASES IN THE WELDING ENVIRONMENT" HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION: NOT APPLICABLE. SECTION VII SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES NOT APPLICABLE WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD: Prevent waste from contaminating surrounding environment. Discard any product residue disposable container or liner In an environmentally acceptabla manner, In full compliance with Federal, State and Loce regulations. SECTION VIII SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION (See Note) "Read and understand the manufacturer's Instructions and the precautionary label on the product. Ventilation - Us enough ventilation, local exhaust at the arc, or both, to keep the fumea and gases from the worker's breathing zone and th general area. Train the welder to keep his head out of the tumea. Peeplratory Protection - Use respirable fume respirator or air supplied respirator when welding In a confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposur below the recommended exposure limit. Eye Protection - Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. Provide protectlv screens and (lash goggles, If necessary, to shield others. As a rule of thumb start with a shade that Is too dark to see the wei. zone. Then go the the next lighter shade which gives sufficient view of the weld zone. Protective Clothing - Wear hand, heac and body protection which help to prevent Injury from radiation, sparks, and electrical shock. See ANSI Z49.1. At minimum this Includes welder's gloves and a protective face shield, and may Include arm protectors, aprons, hats, shoulde protection, as wall as dark substantial clothing. Train the welder not to touch live electrical parts and to Insulate himself fror work and ground." 8ECTI0N IX SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS (See Note) OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Use exhaust system to clear welding fumes. Make aure that inhaled air does not contain fum constituents above permlsslble'exposure levels.
