Section V - HEALTH HAZARD INFORMATION
WE DO NOT CONSIDER THIS PRODUCT IN THE FORM IT IS SOLD TO CONSTITUTE A PHYSICAL HAZARD OR A HEALTH HAZARD. SUBSEQUENT OPERATIONS SUCH AS ABRADING, MELTING, WELDING, CUTTING OR PROCESSING IN ANY OTHER FASHION MAY PRODUCE POTENTIALLY HAZARDOUS DUST OR FUME WHICH CAN BE INHALED, SWALLOWED, OR COME IN CONTACT WITH THE SKIN OR EYES.
PRIMARY ROUTES OF ENTRY:
Inhalation
Skin Contact
Eye Contact
Ingestion
FIRST AID PROCEDURES
Inhalation - Remove to fresh air, if condition continues, consult physician.
Skin Contact - Brush off excess dust. Wash area well with soap and water.
Eye Contact - Flush well with running water to remove particulate. Get medical attention.
Ingestion - Seek medical help if large quantities of material have been ingested.
MSDS - High Speed, Tool & Die, Carbon and Stainless Steels
EFFECTS OF EXPOSURE: No toxic effects would be expected from exposure to the solid form of specialty steel. Prolonged, repeated exposure to fumes or dusts generated during heating, cutting brazing or welding may or may not cause adverse health effects associated with the listed constituents in excess of OSHA permissible exposure limits established in 29 CFR Subpart Z. (See Section II).
EXPOSURE LIMITS: Section II lists specific ingredients and permissible exposure limits.
IMPORTANT: ...Determine actual exposure by industrial hygiene monitoring.
POSSIBLE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS OF EXPOSURE TO DUST, WELDING FUME AND GASES:
SHORT TERM EXPOSURE: Metallic taste; nausea, tightness of chest; fever; irritation of eyes, nose, throat and skin; loss of consciousness/death due to welding gases or lack or oxygen.
LONG TERM EXPOSURE: There are no adverse effects from the products in their solid form. Adverse effects may or may not result from long-term (chronic) exposure to dust, fume, gases, etc., that occur by way of subsequent operations on the product. Some studies would associate one (or more) of the constituents (per Section II) with the potential for neurologic, pulmonary, respiratory, skin, or other disease. Chromium, cobalt and nickel in various chemical compounds have been identified as suspect human carcinogens by the I.A.R.C., N.T.P. Annual Report. We believe there are no reliable scientific studies which show that workers exposed to operations upon our alloys suffer increased incidence of lung cancer or other disease because of their exposure to the forms of chromium, nickel or other elements in our products.
AGGRAVATION OF PRE-EXISTING RESPIRATORY OR ALLERGIC CONDITIONS MAY OCCUR IN SOME WORKERS.
Section VI - REACTIVITY DATA
Stability - Stable
Incompatibility - Reacts with Strong Acids to Generate Hydrogen Gas
Hazardous Decomposition Products - Metallic Oxides
Section VII - SPILL OR LEAK PROCEDURES
Steps to be Taken in Case Material is Released or Spilled - N/A
Waste Disposal Method - Dispose of in accordance with appropriate government regulations. May be sold as scrap for reclaim.
Section VIII - SPECIAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection - If fumes, misting or dust condition occurs and TLV as indicated in Section II is exceeded, provide NIOSH approved respirators.
Eye Protection - Safety glasses with side shields or goggles are recommended.
Protective Gloves - Protective gloves or Barrier cream are recommended when contact with dust ormist is likely. Prior to applying the Barrier cream or use of protective gloves, wash thoroughly.
Ventilation - Use local exhaust ventilation which is adequate to limit personal exposure to airborne dust to levels which do not exceed the PEL or TLV. If such equipment is not available use respirators as specified above.
Section IX - SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS
Precautions to be Taken in Handling and Storage: Use good housekeeping practices to prevent accumulations of dusts and to keep airborne dust concentrations at a minimum.
Other Precautions: This material is potentially contaminated with coatings such as oils for preservatives and other contaminants. If the material is contaminated, special precautions (such as Process Control and personal protective equipment appropriate to the nature of the suspected contaminants) should be taken to avoid resulting exposures when handling, cutting (thermal or mechanical) and/or heating or melting.
