| SECTION 4: FIRST AID MEASURES | |
4.1 DESCRIPTION OF FIRST AID MEASURES:
NO FIRST AID MEASURES REQUIRED FOR UNUSED WIRE, DURING WELDING PROCESS OF
WIRE REFER BELOW
FIRST-AID MEASURES AFTER INHALATION:
REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. IF NOT BREATHING, GIVE ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION. IF
BREATHING IS DIFFICULT, GIVE OXYGEN. GET MEDICAL ATTENTION.
FIRST-AID MEASURES AFTER SKIN CONTACT:
FLUSH WITH WATER FOR AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IF
IRRITATION DEVELOPS OR PERSISTS.
FIRST-AID MEASURES AFTER EYE CONTACT:
IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYES WITH WATER AND CONTINUE WASHING FOR AT LEAST 15
MINUTES. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IF DISCOMFORT PERSISTS.
FIRST-AID MEASURES AFTER INGESTION:
DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. GET IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION.
4.2 MOST IMPORTANT SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS, BOTH ACUTE AND DELAYED:
SYMPTOMS/INJURIES AFTER INHALATION:
SHORT-TERM (ACUTE) OVEREXPOSURE TO THE GASES, FUMES, AND DUSTS MAY INCLUDE
IRRITATION OF THE EYES, LUNGS, NOSE & THROAT. SOME TOXIC GASES ASSOCIATED
WITH WELDING MAY CAUSE PULMONARY EDEMA, ASPHYXIATION & DEATH.
ACUTE OVEREXPOSURE MAY INCLUDE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS SUCH AS WATERY EYES, NOSE
& THROAT IRRITATION, HEADACHE, DIZZINESS, DIFFICULTY IN BREATHING, FREQUENT
COUGHING, OR CHEST PAIN. THE PRESENCE OF CHROMIUM/CHROMATE IN FUME CAN
CAUSE IRRITATION OF NASAL MEMBRANES AND SKIN. THE PRESENCE OF NICKEL
COMPOUNDS IN FUME CAN CAUSE METALLIC TASTE, NAUSEA, TIGHTNESS OF CHEST,
FEVER, AND ALLERGIC REACTION. EXCESSIVE INHALATION OR INGESTION OF
MANGANESE CAN PRODUCE MANGANESE POISONING. OVEREXPOSURE TO MANGANESE
COMPOUNDS MAY AFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM, SYMPTOMS OF WHICH ARE
LANGUOR, SLEEPINESS, MUSCULAR WEAKNESS, EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCES, AND SPASTIC
GAIT RESEMBLING PARKINSONISM. THESE SYMPTOMS CAN BECOME PROGRESSIVE AND
PERMANENT IF NOT TREATED. EXCESSIVE INHALATION OF FUMES MAY CAUSE "METAL
FUME FEVER" WITH FLU-LIKE SYMPTOMS SUCH AS CHILLS, FEVER, BODY ACHES,
VOMITING, SWEATING, ETC.
SYMPTOMS/INJURIES AFTER SKIN CONTACT: DUSTS MAY CAUSE IRRITATION.
SYMPTOMS/INJURIES AFTER EYE CONTACT: CAUSES EYE IRRITATION
SYMPTOMS/INJURIES AFTER INGESTION:
NOT AN ANTICIPATED ROUTE OF EXPOSURE DURING NORMAL PRODUCT HANDLING. MAY BE
HARMFUL IF INGESTED.

10.2 CHEMICAL STABILITY:
THE PRODUCT IS STABLE AT NORMAL HANDLING AND STORAGE CONDITIONS.
10.3 POSSIBILITY OF HAZARDOUS REACTION/HAZARDOUS POLYMERIZATION:
WILL NOT OCCUR
10.4 INCOMPATIBLE MATERIAL: NONE
10.5 HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS:
WELDING FUMES AND GASES CANNOT BE CLASSIFIED SIMPLY. THE COMPOSITION AND
QUANTITY OF BOTH ARE DEPENDENT UPON THE METAL BEING WELDED, THE PROCESS,
PROCEDURE AND WELDING CONSUMABLES USED. OTHER CONDITIONS WHICH ALSO
INFLUENCE THE COMPOSITION AND QUANTITY OF THE FUMES AND GASES TO WHICH
WORKERS MAY BE EXPOSED INCLUDE: COATING ON THE METAL BEING WELDED (I.E.
PAINT, PAINTING, GALVANIZING), THE NUMBER OF WELDERS, THE VOLUME OF THE
WORK AREA, THE QUALITY AND THE AMOUNT OF VENTILATION, THE POSITION OF THE
WELDERS HEAD WITH RESPECT TO THE FUME PLUME, AS WELL AS THE PRESENCE OF
CONTAMINANTS IN THE ATMOSPHERE (SUCH AS CHLORINATED HYDROCARBON VAPORS
FROM THE CLEANING AND DEGREASING ACTIVITIES).
WHEN AN ELECTRODE IS CONSUMED, THE FUME AND GAS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS
GENERATED ARE DIFFERENT IN PERCENT AND FORM FROM THE INGREDIENTS LISTED
IN SECTION 3. FUME AND GAS DECOMPOSITION, AND NOT THE INGREDIENTS IN THE
ELECTRODE, ARE IMPORTANT. THE CONCENTRATION OF A GIVEN FUME OR GAS
COMPONENT MAY DECREASE OR INCREASE BY MANY TIMES THE ORIGINAL
CONCENTRATION. ALSO, NEW COMPOUNDS NOT IN THE ELECTRODES MAY FORM.
DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS OF NORMAL OPERATION INCLUDE THOSE ORIGINATING FROM
THE VOLATILIZATION, REACTION OR OXIDATION OF THE MATERIALS SHOWN IN
SECTION3, PLUS THOSE FROM THE BASE METAL COATING, ETC., AS NOTED ABOVE.
REASONABLE EXPECTED FUME CONSTITUENTS OF THIS PRODUCT WOULD INCLUDE:
COMPLEX OXIDES OF IRON, MANGANESE, SILICON, CHROMIUM, NICKEL, COLUMBIUM,
MOLYBDENUM, COPPER, CARBON DIOXIDE, CARBON MONOXIDE, OZONE AND NITROGEN
OXIDES. SOME PRODUCTS WILL ALSO CONTAIN ANTIMONY, BARIUM, MOLYBDENUM,
ALUMINUM, COLUMBIUM, MAGNESIUM, STRONTIUM, TUNGSTEN, AND OR ZIRCONIUM.
PRESENT OSHA EXPOSURE LIMIT FOR HEXAVALENT CHROMIUM , NICKEL AND OR
MANGANESE MAY BE REACHED BEFORE LIMIT OF 5 MG/M3 OF GENERAL WELDING FUMES
IS REACHED.
GASEOUS REACTION PRODUCTS MAY INCLUDE CARBON MONOXIDE AND CARBON DIOXIDE,
OZONE AND NITROGEN OXIDES MAY BE FORMED BY THE RADIATION FROM THE ARC IN
ADDITION TO SHIELDING GAS LIKE ARGON AND HELIUM WHEN EMPLOYED. 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.
