=====================  Hazards Identification  =====================

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:YES  Ingestion:YES
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES	  OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:EYES: IRRITATION. INHALATION:
    IRRITATION OF THE NOSE, THROAT, MUCOUS MEMBRANES. HIGH
    CONCENTRATION OF FUMES & DUST IF IRON-OXIDE, MANGANESE, COPPER,
    ZINC & LEAD MAY RESULT IN METAL FUME FEVER.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:SEE INGREDIENTS.
Effects of Overexposure:METAL FUME FEVER: METALLIC TASTE IN MOUTH,
    DRYNESS, CHILLS, FEVER.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:RESPIRATORY DISORDERS (ASTHMA,
    BRONCHITIS, EMPHYSEMA)

=======================  First Aid Measures  =======================

First Aid:INHALATION: REMOVE TO FRESH AIR. EYES: FLUSH W/WATER TO
    REMOVE PARTICULATES. SKIN: REMOVE PARTICLES BY WASHING W/SOAP &
    WATER. INGESTION: CONSULT PHYSICIAN. OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION IN
    ALL CASES.

=====================  Fire Fighting Measures  =====================

Extinguishing Media:DRY POWDER OR SAND ON MOLTEN METAL.
Fire Fighting Procedures:DOES NOT PRESENT A FIRE HAZARD UNDER NORMAL
    CONDITIONS. FINE METAL PARTICLES PRODUCED BY GRINDING OR SAWING CAN
    BURN.
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:HIGH CONCENTRATIONS OF METALIC FINES IN
    AIR MAY PRESENT AN EXPLOSION HAZARD. DON'T USE WATER ON MOLTEN
    METAL.

==================  Accidental Release Measures  ==================

Spill Release Procedures:FINE TURNINGS & SMALL CHIPS SHOULD BE SWEPT OR
    VACUUMED UP. SCRAP METAL CAN BE RE-USED.

======================	Handling and Storage  ======================

Handling and Storage Precautions:ARC OR SPARK GENERATED WHEN WELDING OR
    BURNING COULD IGNITE COMBUSTIBLE MATERALS.
Other Precautions:IN WELDING, PRECAUTIONS SHOULD BE TAKEN FOR AIRBORNE
    CONTAMINATION WHICH MAY ORIGINATE FROM COMPONENTS OF WELDING ROD.

=============  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  =============

Respiratory Protection:APPROPRIATE DUST/MIST/FUME RESPIRATOR SHOULD BE
    USED IF LIMITS ARE EXCEEDED.
Protective Gloves:REQUIRED
Eye Protection:SAFETY GLASSES/FACESHIELDS
Supplemental Safety and Health
COPPER PRODUCTS IN SOLID STATE PRESENT NO HEALTH HAZARD. OPERATIONS
    SUCH AS WELDING, SAWING, BRAZING, GRINDING & MACHINING WHICH RESULT
    IN GENERATION OF AIRBORNE PARTICULATES MAY PRESENT HAZARDS.
