APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
VENTILATION:
USE ENOUGH VENTILATION AND LOCAL EXHAUST AT THE ARC, FLAME OR HEAT SOURCE
TO KEEP THE FUMES AND GASES FROM THE WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE AND THE
GENERAL AREA. TRAIN THE OPERATOR TO KEEP THEIR HEAD OUT OF THE FUMES.
KEEP EXPOSURE AS LOW AS POSSIBLE.
INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION MEASURES, SUCH AS PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
GENERAL INFORMATION:
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES:
TO REDUCE THE POTENTIAL FOR OVEREXPOSURE, USE CONTROLS SUCH AS ADEQUATE
VENTILATION AND PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE). OVEREXPOSURE REFERS TO
EXCEEDING APPLICABLE LOCAL LIMITS, THE AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENTAL
INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS (ACGIH) THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUES (TLVS) OR THE
OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH ADMINISTRATION'S (OSHA) PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE
LIMITS (PELS). WORKPLACE EXPOSURE LEVELS SHOULD BE ESTABLISHED BY COMPETENT
INDUSTRIAL HYGIENE ASSESSMENTS. UNLESS EXPOSURE LEVELS ARE CONFIRMED TO
BE BELOW THE APPLICABLE LOCAL LIMIT, TLV OR PEL, WHICHEVER IS LOWER,
RESPIRATOR USE IS REQUIRED. ABSENT THESE CONTROLS, OVEREXPOSURE TO ONE OR
MORE COMPOUND CONSTITUENTS, INCLUDING THOSE IN THE FUME OR AIRBORNE
PARTICLES, MAY OCCUR RESULTING IN POTENTIAL HEALTH HAZARDS. ACCORDING TO
THE ACGIH, TLVS AND BIOLOGICAL EXPOSURE INDICES (BEIS) "REPRESENT
CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH ACGIH BELIEVES THAT NEARLY ALL WORKERS MAY BE
REPEATEDLY EXPOSED WITHOUT ADVERSE HEALTH EFFECTS." THE ACGIH FURTHER
STATES THAT THE TLV-TWA SHOULD BE USED AS A GUIDE IN THE CONTROL OF HEALTH
HAZARDS AND SHOULD NOT BE USED TO INDICATE A FINE LINE BETWEEN SAFE AND
DANGEROUS EXPOSURES. SEE SECTION 10 FOR INFORMATION ON CONSTITUENTS WHICH
HAVE SOME POTENTIAL TO PRESENT HEALTH HAZARDS. WELDING CONSUMABLES AND
MATERIALS BEING JOINED MAY CONTAIN CHROMIUM AS AN UNINTENDED TRACE ELEMENT.
MATERIALS THAT CONTAIN CHROMIUM MAY PRODUCE SOME AMOUNT OF HEXAVALENT
CHROMIUM (CRVI) AND OTHER CHROMIUM COMPOUNDS AS A BYPRODUCT IN THE FUME. IN
2018, THE AMERICAN CONFERENCE OF GOVERNMENTAL INDUSTRIAL HYGIENISTS (ACGIH)
LOWERED THE THRESHOLD LIMIT VALUE (TLV) FOR HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM FROM
50 MICROGRAMS PER CUBIC METER OF AIR (50 (MICRO)G/M3) TO 0.2 (MICRO)G/M3.
AT THESE NEW LIMITS, CRVI EXPOSURES AT OR ABOVE THE TLV MAY BE POSSIBLE IN
CASES WHERE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IS NOT PROVIDED. CRVI COMPOUNDS ARE ON
THE IARC AND NTP LISTS AS POSING A LUNG CANCER AND SINUS CANCER RISK.
WORKPLACE CONDITIONS ARE UNIQUE AND WELDING FUME EXPOSURES LEVELS VARY.
WORKPLACE EXPOSURE ASSESSMENTS MUST BE CONDUCTED BY A QUALIFIED
PROFESSIONAL, SUCH AS AN INDUSTRIAL HYGIENIST, TO DETERMINE IF EXPOSURES
ARE BELOW APPLICABLE LIMITS AND TO MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS WHEN NECESSARY FOR
PREVENTING OVEREXPOSURES.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
WEAR HELMET OR USE FACE SHIELD WITH FILTER LENS SHADE NUMBER 12 OR DARKER
FOR OPEN ARC PROCESSES - OR FOLLOW THE RECOMMENDATIONS AS SPECIFIED IN
ANSI Z49.1, SECTION 4, BASED ON YOUR PROCESS AND SETTINGS. NO SPECIFIC LENS
SHADE RECOMMENDATION FOR SUBMERGED ARC OR ELECTROSLAG PROCESSES. SHIELD
OTHERS BY PROVIDING APPROPRIATE SCREENS AND FLASH GOGGLES.
SKIN PROTECTION:
HAND PROTECTION:
WEAR PROTECTIVE GLOVES. SUITABLE GLOVES CAN BE RECOMMENDED BY THE GLOVE
SUPPLIER.
OTHER:
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
WEAR HAND, HEAD, AND BODY PROTECTION WHICH HELP TO PREVENT INJURY FROM
RADIATION, OPEN FLAMES, HOT SURFACES, SPARKS AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK. SEE
Z49.1. AT A MINIMUM, THIS INCLUDES WELDER'S GLOVES AND A PROTECTIVE FACE
SHIELD WHEN WELDING, AND MAY INCLUDE ARM PROTECTORS, APRONS, HATS, SHOULDER
PROTECTION, AS WELL AS DARK SUBSTANTIAL CLOTHING WHEN WELDING, BRAZING AND
SOLDERING. WEAR DRY GLOVES FREE OF HOLES OR SPLIT SEAMS. TRAIN THE OPERATOR
NOT TO PERMIT ELECTRICALLY LIVE PARTS OR ELECTRODES FROM CONTACTING THE
SKIN... OR CLOTHING OR GLOVES IF THEY ARE WET. INSULATE YOURSELF FROM THE
WORK PIECE AND GROUND USING DRY PLYWOOD, RUBBER MATS OR OTHER DRY
INSULATION.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
KEEP YOUR HEAD OUT OF FUMES. USE ENOUGH VENTILATION AND LOCAL EXHAUST TO
KEEP FUMES AND GASES FROM YOUR BREATHING ZONE AND THE GENERAL AREA. AN
APPROVED RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE USED UNLESS EXPOSURE ASSESSMENTS ARE BELOW
APPLICABLE EXPOSURE LIMITS.
HYGIENE MEASURES:
DO NOT EAT, DRINK OR SMOKE WHEN USING THE PRODUCT. ALWAYS OBSERVE GOOD
PERSONAL HYGIENE MEASURES, SUCH AS WASHING AFTER HANDLING THE MATERIAL AND
BEFORE EATING, DRINKING, AND/OR SMOKING. ROUTINELY WASH WORK CLOTHING AND
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT TO REMOVE CONTAMINANTS. DETERMINE THE COMPOSITION AND
QUANTITY OF FUMES AND GASES TO WHICH WORKERS ARE EXPOSED BY TAKING AN AIR
SAMPLE FROM INSIDE THE WELDER'S HELMET IF WORN OR IN THE WORKER'S BREATHING
ZONE. IMPROVE VENTILATION IF EXPOSURES ARE NOT BELOW LIMITS. SEE ANSI/AWS
F1.1, F1.2, F1.3 AND F1.5, AVAILABLE FROM THE AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY,
