3. HAZARDS INFORMATION
Many of the welding products covered by this MSDS and the fumes produced during welding contain compounds of
chromium, cobalt, and nickel.
WELDING HAZARDS: Welding hazards are complex. Available accident and health records show that the great
majority of injuries result from physical accidents; such as from electric shock or restricted visibility/mobility, physical
strains, radiation burns (such as Aeye flash@), heat burns due to hot metal or spatter, or metal fume fever.
INHALATION: Short-term exposure above limits listed in Tables 4 and 5 may result in
dizziness, nausea, or irritation of the nose and throat.
ROUTES OF INGESTION: Amounts ingested incidental to industrial handling are not likely to cause injury.
EXPOSURE Avoid hand, clothing, food, and drink contact with welding fume by washing hands before
hand to mouth activities such as drinking and eating.
SEE ALSO TABLE 5
SKIN: Skin contact with welding fume may cause skin rash or allergic reaction. See Table 5
for additional information.
EYES: Welding fume may cause eye irritation. Arc rays (ultraviolet light) can injure eyes.
CHRONIC EFFECTS: See Table 5 for specific information.
4. EMERGENCY AND FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Breathing difficulty caused by inhalation of dust or fume requires removal to fresh air. If breathing has
INHALATION
stopped, perform artificial respiration and obtain medical assistance at once.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Contact a poison control center. Unless the
INGESTION
poison control center advises otherwise, have that conscious person slowly drink 1 to 2 glasses of
water to dilute, inducement of vomiting is not necessary. Obtain medical assistance at once.
Quickly remove contaminated clothing. Do not shake clothing. Skin contamination with dust or fume
SKIN
can be removed by washing with soap and water. For reddened or blistered skin, consult a physician.
Do not allow victim to rub or keep eyes tightly shut. Dust or fume should be flushed from the eyes with
EYES
copious amounts of clean water, until transported to an emergency medical facility. Consult a physician
at once.
5. FIRE AND EXPLOSION INFORMATION
As shipped, these products are nonflammable and nonexplosive. However, welding arcs and sparks can ignite
combustibles, and can initiate fires and explosions. Be sure you read and understand American National Standard
Institute standard ANSI Z49.1 ASafety in Welding and Cutting@ and National Fire Protection Association standard 51B for
fire prevention in ACutting and Welding Processes@ before using these products.

6. STEPS TO BE TAKEN IF MATERIAL IS RELEASED OR SPILLED
In solid form this material poses no special clean-up problems. If this material is in powder or dust form, notify safety
personnel, isolate the area and deny entry. Do not sweep. Clean-up should be conducted with a vacuum system utiliz-
ing a high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration system. Caution should be taken to minimize airborne generation of
powder or dust and avoid contamination of air and water. Cleanup personnel should protect against exposure. Properly
label all materials collected in waste container. Follow applicable OSHA regulations (29 CFR 1910.120). (Emergency
Response)
H-1072-6 Page 2 of 17
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Dust and welding fume should be moved or transported to minimize spill or release potential.
HANDLING
PRECAUTIONS
In solid form this material poses no special problems. To ensure performance of the product, store in a
STORAGE
warm, dry environment away from incompatibles (Section 10).
PRECAUTIONS
8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Local exhaust ventilation should be used to control exposure to airborne dust and fume emissions near
ENGINEERING
the source (during welding) below the exposure limits cited in Section 2.
CONTROLS
VENTILATION: Use enough ventilation (local exhaust at the arc) to keep fumes and gases from the
worker=s breathing zone and the general area. Train welders to keep their heads out of the welding
plume. If the fumes are removed by filtration or some other means and the air/gas stream is put back
into the room, gases and fumes may build up to toxic or asphyxiation levels. Gas build-up should be
monitored and if excessive should be removed or reduced to safe levels by some supplementary
system and/or reduced by general ventilation.
Use NIOSH approved respirators as specified by an industrial hygienist or qualified safety professional.
RESPIRATORY
Lung function tests are recommended for users of negative pressure devices. Use a fume respirator
PROTECTION
or an air supplied respirator where local exhaust or general ventilation does not keep exposure below
the exposure limits for air contamination. Remember - the shielding gases used with the GMAW and
GTAW processes can displace breathing air and cause asphyxiation in confined work spaces or
unventilated areas.
Wear hand, head, and body protection which help to prevent injury from radiation, sparks, and electric
SKIN PROTECTION
shock. Refer to ANSI Z49.1 for more information. At a minimum this includes dry welder=s gloves and
a protective face shield and may include arm protectors, aprons, hats, and shoulder protectors as well
as dark, substantial clothing.
Arcs produce ultraviolet and infrared radiation. Use a welder=s helmet or a face shield and wear safety
EYE
glasses under the welder=s helmet or face shield. As a rule, start with a lens shade that is too dark to
PROTECTION
see the weld zone. Then go to a lighter shade (a lower number shade) which gives sufficient view of
the weld zone. Do not go below the minimum recommended in ANSI standard Z49.1 mentioned in this
MSDS.
Welders should be trained to avoid electric shock by maintaining a dry work area, insulating themselves
ELECTRIC SHOCK
from the workpiece and ground, and not touching live electrical parts.
The welding fumes of most of these welding products contain certain ingredients which either may, or
RECOMMENDED
will, reach their PEL or TLV before reaching the TLV-TWA of 5 mg/m3 defined by ACGIH for general
MONITORING
welding fumes not otherwise classified (NOC). Monitoring the welding fume for these ingredients is
PROCEDURES recommended. Monitoring for the ACGIH Welding fumes (NOC) is also recommended for all products.
Seek professional advice from an industrial hygienist or qualified safety professional for recommended
monitoring procedures.

12. ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
In solid form this material poses no special environmental problems. Metal powders, fumes, or dusts may have
significant impact on air and water quality. Airborne emissions, spills, and releases to the environment (discharge to
streams, sewer systems, ground water, surface soil, etc.) should be controlled immediately.
Ecotoxicity: Few plants accumulate cobalt at greater than 100 ppm, the level at which severe phytotoxicity would occur.
There is little tendency for chromium III bioaccumulation along the food chain.
Environmental Degradation: In water, cobalt is adsorbed greatly to hydrolysate or oxidate sediments. It may be taken
into solution in small amounts through bacteriological activity. In water, chromium III oxide is expected to eventually
precipitate to sediments. In air, chromium III oxide is primarily removed by fallout and precipitation. Soils with a high
chromium content (<0.2%) are expected to be infertile. The half-life of chromium in soils may be several years.
13. DISPOSAL CONSIDERATIONS
WASTE DISPOSAL: Contact an Environmental Engineer or your supplier for recovery and recycling welding rod stubs
and scrap wire. Dispose of fume, flux and weld grinding residues from the work area, or from filters, in accordance with
local, state and federal regulations. Refer to this MSDS for information on the possible contents of the collected fumes
and other materials.
