SDS

The welding consumables are essentially solid materials that can be picked up and put in any suitable

container. Use hand gloves or other PPE equipments while picking up. However, the materials should not

be discarded as general trash. Put into only in those containers so marked for disposal as classified waste.

Handle with care to avoid physical injuries like cuts, abrasions, etc. Use protective gloves.

Avoid exposure to dust to prevent allergies. Retain the warning label and product labels.

Keep the material away from acids and other reactive chemicals. Keep in proper storage area.

The OSHA Permissible Exposure Limits of air contaminants for the hazardous ingredients present in

consumable materials is indicated in Section 2. The ACGIH threshold limit values for the same is also

indicated. It should be noted that welding fumes do not have a specific OSHA PEL or ACGIH TLV. All

exposure limits is in mg/m

. For a complete analysis of the hazard, an industrial hygienist should be

consulted. The exposure can be mitigated to a great extent by resorting to measures indicated below.

It is most important that the exposure is below PEL and TLV. Always use exhaust ventilation.

Refer to following for additional information: American National Standard (ANSI) Z49.1,

Safety in Welding and Cutting published by American Welding Society.

Ventilation : Ask welder to keep his head out of the fumes. Use enough ventilation including local
