Hazards

• H303 May be harmful if swallowed.
• H317 May cause an allergic skin reaction.
• H319 Causes serious eye irritation.
• H334 May cause allergic or asthmatic symptoms or breathing difficulties if inhaled.
• H351 Suspected of causing cancer.
• H372 Causes damage to organs through prolonged or repeated exposure.

Protective equipment

• Use respirable fume respiratory or air supplied respirator when welding in a confined space or where local exhaust or ventilation does not keep exposure below the recommended exposure limit.
• Wear helmet or use face shield with filter lens. Provide protective screens and flash goggles, if necessary, to shield others.
• Wear hand, head, and body protection, which help to prevent injury from radiation, sparks, and electrical shock. At a minimum this includes welder's gloves and a protective face shield, and may includ
• Welder's gloves (minimum required for hand, head and body protection).

First aid

• Eyes: Immediately flush the eyes with large amounts of water for at least 15 minutes, alternately lifting the upper and lower eyelids. After 5 minutes, if appropriate, remove contact lenses and continue flushing for an additional 15 minutes. Call a physician at once.
• Skin: Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin thoroughly with soap and water or use a recognized skin cleanser.
• Swallowed: Do not induce vomiting. Get medical attention.
• Breathing it in: Remove to fresh air, keep patient warm and at rest. If breathing is irregular or stopped, give artificial respiration. If unconscious place in the recovery position and obtain immediate medical attention. Give nothing by mouth.

Fire

Use extinguishing measures appropriate to local circumstances and the surrounding environment. Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustibles and flammables; refer to ANSI Z49.1 for fire prevention. Welding fumes cannot be classified simply and decomposition products depend on the metal welded and the process used.

Spills

Use exhaust system to clear welding fumes and ensure inhaled air does not contain fume constituents above permissible exposure levels. Prevent waste from contaminating the surrounding environment; discard residue and containers in an environmentally acceptable manner in compliance with Federal, State and Local regulations.
