OSHA/HCS status

This material is considered hazardous by the OSHA Hazard Communication Standard

(29 CFR 1910.1200).

Lenox saw blades are manufactured from metals into solid, stable and inert blades, and

are coated with a water-based paint(s). Under normal sawing conditions, the saw blades

are considered to be articles in that they do not release more than very small quantities

of hazardous chemicals and do not cause physical or health hazards as defined in the

OSHA Hazard Communication Standard. Hazardous chemicals may be released if the

blades are welded, cut, grinded, melted or otherwise physically altered.

This SDS was prepared to address the potential for exposure to dust and/or fume

generated from the saw blade. Beyond the scope of this MSDS, the material being cut

may contain hazardous chemicals and therefore needs to be evaluated with effective

controls instituted to prevent exposure.
