SECTION VIII: Preventative Measures
Steps to be taken in case Material is Released or Spilled: If spill of dust, use cleanup
methods which avoid dust generation. Use water and wet sweep or vacuum.
Waste Disposal Method: Dispose of in accordance with appropriate federal and local
regulations.
Respiratory Protection: When engineering controls are not feasible to control
overexposure, use appropriate NIOSH approved respirators.
Essential to keep worker exposure within
Local Exhaust
allowable limits during welding or grinding.

Not Applicable
Protective Gloves: As needed to protect Eye Protection: Safety glasses, goggles or
against physical hazards. face shield if molten.
Other Protective Equipment: Heat resistant leggings and gloves if pouring molten metal.
SECTION IX: Special Precautions
Precautions to be taken in Handling and Storing: The scrap metal itself presents no
health hazard unless it is welded, burned, ground or cut. Possible fumes may be
generated. Should have complete evaluation done. Wash hands and arms after handling.
Special Precautions and Waste Disposal Methods: Return to manufacturer, scrap
dealer, or dispose of in accordance to local & federal regulations.
