SECTION VII. HEALTH HAZARD DATA
NOTE: ALUMINUM PRODUCTS IN THEIR NATURAL STATE DO NOT PRESENT AN INHALATION OR CONTACT HAZARD. HOWEVER OPERATIONS SUCH AS
BURNING, WELDING, SAWING, BRAZING AND GRINDING MAY RELEASE FUMES AND/OR DUST WHICH MAY PRESENT HEALTH HAZARDS.
EFFECTS OF OVEREXPOSURE:
Acute - Dust or fume may cause irritation to the eyes, nose, or throat and may leave a metallic taste in the mouth. Inhalation of oxides of Manganese, Magnesium, Zinc
and Copper may be manifested as flu-like symptoms commonly known as "metal fume fever". Phosphorous dust is considered a nuisance dust.
Chronic -
Aluminum: Inhalation of Aluminum Oxide fume or an accumulation of Silicon in the lungs may result in benign pneumoconiosis.
Beryllium Inhalation of beryllium dust or fume may cause chronic beryllium disease (CBD) and a cancer hazard. It may also cause eye, skin, and respiratory system irritation.
Cobalt: May cause lung inflammation and damage, and diffuse pulmonary fibrosis from inhalation. Classified as a carcinogen by IARC.
Chromium: May enter and affect the body through Inhalation, Ingestion, or skin contact with kidney & liver damage. The National Toxicology Program (NTP) and the Internal Agency
for Research on Cancer (IARC) report they possess sufficient evidence to establish a causal relationship for human cancer from Hexavalent Chromium.
Copper: Inhalation may cause nose and throat irritation and metal fume fever and prolonged contact may cause dermatitis, discoloration of skin, hair and teeth.
Iron: inhalation of Iron Oxide fume or dust may result in a lung condition known as siderosis.
Lead Lead compounds can be toxic & may cause cancer when Ingested or inhaled. Lead is a cumulative poison and excessive exposure can have an adverse effect on
human reproduction. Acute exposure to lead can be manifested as abdominal pain, nausea, constipation, anorexia, or vomiting, and in severe cases death.
Manganese: Inhalation may result in symptoms such as headache, restlessness, neurological dysfunction, damage to the central nervous system or muscular weakness,
scarring of the lungs and reproductive harm in males.
Magnesium Inhalation may result in Inflammation of the respiratory tract and fever. Dust and fume may cause irritation to the eyes, nose and throat.
Nickel Inhalation of nickel dust or fume may inflame the respitory tract, cause nasal or lung cancer.
Silicon An accumulation of Silicon in the lungs may result in benign pneumoconiosis, chronic bronchitis
Silver May cause eyes, nasal, septum, throat and skin irritation and intestinal disturbance.
Tin May cause eye, skin, and respiratory system irritation and siderosis.
Zinc Dust or fume may cause irritation to the eyes, nose, or throat and may leave a metallic taste in the mouth. Inhalation of oxides may cause "metal fume fever"
Welding Fume Is listed as a possible carcinogen to humans.
Coatings If coated with oil, contact may cause skin irritation/dermatitis
SECTION VIII. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Inhalation In the event of excessive exposure to dust or fume, remove the employee to fresh air. If breathing is difficult administer artificial respiration
or oxygen. Obtain immediate medical assistance.
Skin: Abrasions and cuts should be washed and closed by a clean compress and be immediately medically treated. Should skin irritation occur, wash
affected area with mild soap and rinse with clean warm water. Obtain medical assistance.
Eyes: Depending on the type and nature of exposure, relief may be obtained by fresh air or rinsing the eyes with clean water. Obtain medical assistance.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure:
Persons with a predisposition to respiratory disorders may be adversely affected by particulates or respiratory irritants generated during the mfg. process.
SECTION IX. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION & CONTROL MEASURES
Note: Consult your regional codes or Code of Federal Regulations, Title 29, Part 1910. Subpart G-Occupational Health and Environmental Control, Subpart I
Personal Protective Equipment. Subpart P-Welding, Cutting, and Brazing, and Subpart Z-Toxic and Hazardous Substances. Certain welding type activities
may produce hazardous substances such as carbon monoxide, ozone, phosgene in the presence of certain chemicals, or produce Inert suffocating
atmospheres in addition to the production of ultraviolet radiation and/or noise.
Ventilation: Additional air make up systems may be required if, local exhaust or ventilation systems are not sufficient to maintain exposure levels to contaminates below prescribed limits.
When inhalation controls are not sufficient to reduce the exposure below the applicable exposure limit then use OSHA/NIOSH approved respiratory
protection within the use limitations of the respirator.
Personal To avoid contact use appropriate protective gloves or clothing to protect against cutting edges. Appropriate heat shielding garments should be
Protection: used for activities using or generating heat. Eyes should be protected by using safety glasses, goggles, helmet, face shield as appropriate to the operation being performed.
Precautions to be taken in handling and storage:
Be alert to sharp edges and unsecured Lifts.
