| HAZARD HEALTH DATA | |
ROUTES OF EXPOSURE:
GRINDING CEMENTED TUNGSTEN CARBIDE PRODUCT WILL PRODUCE DUST OF POTENTIALLY
HAZARDOUS INGREDIENTS WHICH CAN BE INHALED, SWALLOWED, OR COME IN CONTACT
WITH SKIN AND/OR EYES.
INHALATION:
DUST FROM GRINDING CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OF THE NOSE AND THROAT. IT ALSO
HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR CAUSING TRANSIENT OR PERMANENT RESPIRATORY DISEASE,
INCLUDING OCCUPATIONAL ASTHMA AND INTERSTITIAL FIBROSIS IN A SMALL
PERCENTAGE OF EXPOSED INDIVIDUALS, IT IS REPORTED THAT COBALT DUST IS
THE MOST PROBABLE CAUSE OF SUCH RESPIRATORY DISEASES. SYMPTOMS INCLUDE
PRODUCTIVE COUGH, WHEEZING, SHORTNESS OF BREATH, CHEST TIGHTNESS AND
WEIGHT LOSS. INTERSTITIAL FIBROSIS (LUNG SCARRING) CAN LEAD TO PERMANENT
DISABILITY OR DEATH.
SKIN CONTACT:
CAN CAUSE IRRITATION OR AN ALLERGIC SKIN RASH DUE TO COBALT SENSITIZATION.
EYE CONTACT: CAN CAUSE IRRITATION.
INGESTION:
REPORTS OUTSIDE THE INDUSTRY SUGGEST THAT INGESTION OF SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS
OF COBALT HAS THE POTENTIAL FOR CAUSING BLOOD, HEART AND OTHER ORGAN
PROBLEMS.
EMERGENCY AND FIRST AIDE PROCEDURES: APPLICABLE FOR DUSTS AND/OR MISTS
INHALATION:
IF SYMPTOMS OF PULMONARY INVOLVEMENT DEVELOP (COUGHING, WHEEZING, SHORTNESS
OF BREATH, ETC.) REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
SKIN CONTACT:
IF IRRITATION OR RASH OCCURS, THOROUGHLY WAS AFFECTED AREAS WITH SOAP AND
WATER AND ISOLATE FROM EXPOSURE. IF IRRITATION OR RASH PERSISTS, SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION.
EYE CONTACT:
IF IRRITATION OCCURS, FLUSH WITH COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF WATER. IF IRRITATION OR
RASH PERSISTS, SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
INGESTION:
IF SUBSTANTIAL QUANTITIES ARE SWALLOWED, DILUTE WITH LARGE AMOUNTS OF
WATER. INDUCE VOMITING AND SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION.
CARCINOGENIC ASSESSMENT (NPT ANNUAL REPORT, LARC MONOGRAPHS, OTHER):
COBALT HAS BEEN LISTED AS A SUSPECTED CARCINOGEN ON THE NIOSH TOXIC
SUBSTANCE LIST.

LEL:
UEL:
HARD CEMENTED TUNGSTEN CARBIDE PRODUCT IS NOT A FIRE HAZARD. DUSTS
GENERATED IN GRINDING OPERATIONS MAY IGNITE IF ALLOWED TO ACCUMULATE
AND ARE SUBJECT TO AN IGNITION SOURCE.
EXTINGUISHING:
FOR POWER FIRES, SMOTHER WITH DRY SAND, DRY DOLOMITE, ABC TYPE FIRE
EXTINGUISHER OR FLOOD
SPECIAL FIRE FIGHTING PROCEDURE:
FOR POWDER FIRE CONFINED TO A SMALL AREA, USE A RESPIRATOR APPROVED FOR
TOXIC DUSTS AND FUMES. FOR A LARGE FIRE, FIRE FIGHTERS SHOULD USE
SELF-CONTAINED BREATHING APPARATUSES.
UNUSUAL FIRE AND EXPLOSION HAZARDS:
DUSTS MAY PRESENT A FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD UNDER RARE FAVORING
CONDITIONS OR PARTICULAR SIZE, DISPERSION AND STRONG IGNITION SOURCE.
HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT EXPECTED TO BE A PROBLEM UNDER NORMAL HANDLING
CONDITIONS.

| SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURE | |
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN CASE MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED:
VENTILATE AREA OF SPILL. CLEAN UP USING METHODS THAT AVOID DUST GENERATION
SUCH AS:
VACUUM (WITH APPROPRIATE FILTER TO PREVENT AIRBORNE DUST LEVELS WHICH
EXCEED THE OSHA PEL OR THE ACGIH TLV), WET DUST MOP OR WET CLEAN UP.
IF AIRBORNE DUST IS GENERATED, USE AN APPROPRIATE NIOSH APPROVED
RESPIRATOR.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHOD:
DISPOSE OF IN ACCORDANCE WIT APPROPRIATE GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS. MAY BE
SOLD AS SCRAP FOR RECLAIM.
| SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION | |
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
USE AN APPROPRIATE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR IF AIRBORNE DUST
CONCENTRATIONS EXCEED THE APPROPRIATE OSHA PEL OR THE ACGIH TLV.
ALL APPROPRIATE REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN 29 CRF 1910.134 SHOULD BE MET.
VENTILATION:
USE LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION WHICH IS ADEQUATE TO LIMIT PERSONAL AIRBORNE
DUST EXPOSURE TO LEVELS WHICH DO NOT EXCEED THE OSHA PEL OR THE ACGIH TLV.
IF SUCH EQUIPMENT IS NOT AVAILABLE, USE RESPIRATORS AS SPECIFIED ABOVE.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES:
PROTECTIVE GLOVES OR BARRIER CREAM ARE RECOMMENDED WHEN CONTACT WITH DUST
OR MIST IS LIKELY. PRIOR TO APPLYING BARRIER CREAM, OR USE OF PROTECTIVE
GLOVES, WAS THOROUGHLY.
EYE PROTECTION:
SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDES SHIELDS OR GOGGLES ARE RECOMMENDED.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT: N/A
| SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS | |
PRECAUTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN HANDLING AND STORAGE:
MAINTAIN GOOD HOUSEKEEPING PROCEDURES TO PREVENT DUST ACCUMULATION DURING
GRINDING. AVOID DUST INHALATION AND DIRECT SKIN CONTACT WITH DUST.
OTHER PRECAUTIONS:
CLEAN UP USING METHODS WHICH AVOID DUST GENERATION SUCH AS VACUUM (WITH
APPROPRIATE FILTER TO PREVENT AIRBORNE DUST LEVELS WHICH EXCEED THE OSHA
PEL OR THE ACGIH TLV), WET DUST MOP OR WET CLEAN UP. IF AIRBORNE DUST IS
GENERATED, USE AN APPROPRIATE NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR.
WASH HANDS THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING, BEFORE EATING OR SMOKING. WASH
EXPOSED SKIN AT THE END OF WORK SHIFT. DO NOT SHAKE CLOTHING, RAGS OR
OTHER ITEMS TO REMOVE DUST. DUST SHOULD BE REMOVED BY WASHING OR VACUUMING
(WITH APPROPRIATE FILTERS) THE CLOTHING, RAGS OR OTHER ITEMS.
PERIODIC EXAMINATIONS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR INDIVIDUALS REGULARLY EXPOSED
TO DUST OR MIST.
