| SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES | |
4.1. DESCRIPTION OF FIRST AID MEASURES:
ELECTRIC SHOCK:
DISCONNECT AND TURN OFF THE POWER. USE A NONCONDUCTIVE MATERIAL TO PULL
VICTIM AWAY FROM CONTACT WITH LIVE PARTS OR WIRES. IF NOT BREATHING, BEGIN
ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION, PREFERABLY MOUTH-TO-MOUTH. IF NO DETECTABLE PULSE,

ASSISTANCE IMMEDIATELY! IF BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, PROVIDE FRESH AIR AND
CALL PHYSICIAN.
SKIN CONTACT:
FOR SKIN BURNS FROM ARC RADIATION, PROMPTLY FLUSH WITH COLD WATER. GET
MEDICAL ATTENTION FOR BURNS OR IRRITATIONS THAT PERSIST. TO REMOVE DUST
OR PARTICLES WASH WITH MILD SOAP AND WATER.
EYE CONTACT:
FOR RADIATION BURNS DUE TO ARC FLASH, SEE PHYSICIAN. TO REMOVE DUSTS
OR FUMES FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST FIFTEEN MINUTES. IF IRRITATION
PERSISTS, OBTAIN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE.

VENTILATION:
USE RESPIRATOR OR AIR SUPPLIED RESPIRATOR WHEN WELDING OR BRAZING IN A
CONFINED SPACE, OR WHERE LOCAL EXHAUST OR VENTILATION IS NOT SUFFICIENT TO
KEEP EXPOSURE VALUES WITHIN SAFE LIMITS. USE SPECIAL CARE WHEN WELDING
PAINTED OR COATED STEELS SINCE HAZARDOUS SUBSTANCES FROM THE COATING MAY
BE EMITTED. ENSURE SUFFICIENT VENTILATION, LOCAL EXHAUST, OR BOTH, TO KEEP
WELDING FUMES AND GASES FROM BREATHING ZONE AND GENERAL AREA.

| SECTION 11: TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
11.1. INFORMATION ON TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS:
INFORMATION ON TOXICOLOGICAL EFFECTS:
INHALATION OF WELDING FUMES AND GASES CAN BE DANGEROUS TO YOUR HEALTH.
CLASSIFICATION OF WELDING FUMES IS DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF VARYING BASE
MATERIALS, COATINGS, AIR CONTAMINATION AND PROCESSES. THE INTERNATIONAL
AGENCY FOR RESEARCH ON CANCER HAS CLASSIFIED WELDING FUMES AS POSSIBLY
CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS (GROUP 2B).
