Section 4 : FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1 Description of necessary first aid measure.

EYE CONTACT :
Particulate bodies may be removed carefully. Do not attempt to remove particles attached to or embedded in eyes. Lay victim down on
stretcher if possible and pad both eyes, make sure dressing does not pres on the injured eye by placing thick pads under dressing, above
and below the eye, consult a physician immediately. For “arc eye” : Place eye pads or light clean dressings over both eyes. Consult a
physician.

SKIN CONTACT :
Wash exposed area with soap and running water. Cover the irritated skin with an emollient. Get medical advice if irritation develops.

INHALATION :
If inhaled welding fume or dust, remove victim to fresh air and keep at rest in a position comfortable for breathing. If breathing is
difficult, give artificial respiration. Consult a physician.

INGESTION :
It is unlike entry as its form.

4.2 Most important symptoms and effects, both acute or chronic:

Acute effects : Harmless as its form. Danger when used: The welding flash or UV light irritating to the eye and may cause “arc eye”.
Excessive inhalation of welding fume or dust may cause “metal fume fever”. Symptoms may be delayed for up to 12 hours and begin
with the sudden onset of thirst, and a sweet, metallic or foul taste in the mouth. Other symptoms include upper respiratory tract
irritation accompanied by coughing and a dryness of the mucuos membranes, lassitude and generalized feeling of malaise.

Chronic effects : Repeated or prolonged inhalation welding fume may cause damage to lung.

Section 5 : FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES

SUITABLE EXTINGUISHING MEDIA :


Use dry sand, special powder for metal fires. Do not use water, CO2 or halogenated extinguishing agents.
SPECIAL HAZARDS ARISING FORM THE CHEMICAL :
In a fire may decompose on heating and produce toxic or irritating fumes. Welding arc and metal sparks can ignite combustibles.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE ACTIONS FOR FIRE-FIGHTERS : In the event of a fire, a self-contained breathing apparatus,
operating in the positive pressure mode and full fire fighting protective clothing should be worn. Extinguishing the fire form upwind
and keep a safe distance. Enhanced ventilation to accelerate the dissipation of the harmful substances. Fire water contaminated with
this material must be contained and prevented from being discharged to any waterway, sewer or drain.

Section 6 : ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precaution, protective equipment and emergency procedures.


Isolate spill or leak area in all directions. Keep unauthorized personnel away. Suggest emergency people wear anti-dust masks, general
protective clothing , impervious gloves and safety glasses. Ensure adequate ventilation. Stay upwind.

Precautions to Protect the Environment. Collect leaks. Avoid entry into drains or water courses

Methods and Material for containment and Cleaning Up.


For small spillage :clean up spills immediately. Provide ventilation. Use a non-spark tool. Sweep up or pick up and place into a suitable
containner and label for recycling. For large leaks : Recovering and recycling.

Section 7 : HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling. Handle with care to avoid stings or cuts. Wear gloves when handling welding consumable. Avoid
exposure to dust. Do not ingest. Some individuals can develop an allergic reaction to certain materials.
Conditions for safe Storage. Store in dry place in closed packages. Keep separate from chemical substances like acids and strong
bases, which could cause chemical reactions

Engineering Control : Avoid exposure to welding fumes, radiation, spatter, electric shock, heated material and dust. Ensure sufficient
ventilation, local exhaust, or both, to keep welding fumes and gases from breathing zone and general area. Keep work place and
protective clothing clean and dry. Train welders to avoid contact with live electrical parts and insulate conductive parts. Check
condition of protective clothing and equipment on a regular basis.

Personal protection equipment

Respiratory protection : Use an air purifying dust respirator when welding or brazing in a confined space, or when local exhaust or
ventilation is not sufficient to keep exposure values within safe limits.
Hand Protection : Wear appropriate gloves to prevent skin contact
Eye Protection : Welder's helmet or face shield with colour absorbing lenses. Shield and filter to provide protection from
harmful UV radiation, infra-red and molten metal approved to standart EN379.
Skin Protection : Heat-resistant protective clothing, wear safety boots, apron, arm and shoulder protection
