One recommended way to determine the composition and quantity of fumes to which workers are
exposed is to take an air sample inside the welder's helmet. If worn, or in the worker's breathing zone.
(See ANSI/AWS F1.1, available from the American Welding Society, P.O. Box 351040, Miami, FL 33135.
Also from AWS is F1.3, "Evaluating Contaminants in the Welding Environment ?A Sampling Strategy
Guide," which gives additional advice on sampling.) At a minimum, materials listed in this section should
be analyzed for the following:

SECTION VI?HEALTH HAZARD DATA
Routes of Entry: Inhalation: Yes (mists) Skin: Yes Ingestion: Yes Eyes: Yes
Health Hazards (acute and chronic): The toxicological properties of this compound have not been fully
tested. Analogous compounds are essentially non-toxic.
Carcinogenicity: NTP? No IARC Monographs? No OSHA Regulated? No
Signs and symptoms of exposure:
Inhalation: This product is not toxic by inhalation.
Skin: Minimally irritating. Contact may cause temporary stains on skin.
Ingestion: Do not take internally. Non-toxic.
Eyes: May cause temporary eye irritation.
Medical Conditions Aggravated by Exposure: Contact or breathing mists may exacerbate existing skin
or respiratory disorders.
Emergency and First Aid Procedures:
Eyes: Flush with water for 15 minutes. Consult a physician if irritation persists
Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash the affected area with soap and water. Launder or
dry clean clothes before reuse.
Inhalation: Inhalation of mists or spray is not expected to have any negative health effect.
Ingestion: DO NOT induce vomiting. Drink 3-4 glasses of water of milk, and contact the nearest
poison control center. This product is a solution based on a food coloring dye.
WARNING: CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65: This product, when used for welding, soldering, brazing,
cutting and other metal working or flame processes, produces fumes, particulates, residues and other by
products which contain chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or
other reproductive harm.
SECTION VII ?PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING AND STORAGE
STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS SPILLED OR RELEASED:
Wear recommended protective clothing. Remove contaminated garments promptly. Remove
unnecessary personnel from the area. Floors may be slippery; use care to avoid falling. Dike the spill
immediately with appropriate materials to prevent the spread of liquid. Absorb the liquid with an inert
absorbent such as sand, dirt, vermiculite or "oil-dri" or use commercial absorbent pads. Transfer liquids
and solid diking material to suitable containers and dispose of in accordance with local, state, and federal
regulations.
WASTE DISPOSAL METHODS: Incinerate this material and all associated wastes, or bury in an
approved landfill in accordance with governmental regulations.
HANDLING AND STORAGE:
Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep containers closed when not in use. Store in a dry, cool, well
ventilated area. Empty containers may retain residue. All containers should be disposed of in an
environmentally safe manner, and in accordance with all governmental regulations.
Keep this and all chemicals out of the reach of children.
SECTION VIII ?CONTROL MEASURES
Respiratory Protection (Specify Type): Use in a well-ventilated area. If mist is being generated, and is
irritating to breathing passages, wear a dust/mist filter.
Ventilation: Local exhaust is recommended when used in enclosed areas.
Protective Gloves: Neoprene or other materials may be used if there is documented evidence of
compatibility as necessary for individuals with sensitive skin.
2
Eye protection: Safety glasses (ANSI Z87.1) or approved equivalent as necessary to minimize eye
contact hazards.
Other Protective Clothing: Neoprene aprons, overshoes, oversleeves or other impervious clothing as
necessary to minimize exposure.
Work Hygienic Practices: Use proper industrial hygiene practices to minimize hazardous exposure.
Wash hands after handling this material, and before eating or smoking.
