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

Routes of Entry: Inhalation:YES  Skin:NO  Ingestion:NO
Reports of Carcinogenicity:NTP:YES    IARC:YES	  OSHA:NO
Health Hazards Acute and Chronic:SHORT TERM OVEREXPOSURE TO FUMES
    GENERATED DURING WELDING PROCESSES MAY PRODUCE METAL FUME FEVER. 
    LONG TERM OVEREXPOSURE MAY RESULT IN SIDEROSIS OR SIMILAR PULMONARY
    CONDITIONS. IN ADDITION TO THESE,  WELDING HAZARDS INCLUDE ULTRA
    VIOLET RADIATION BURNS FROM THE ARC RAYS, THERMAL BURNS AND
    ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Explanation of Carcinogenicity:NICKEL, ITS PROCESSING OR SOME OF ITS
    COMPOUNDS ARE LISTED BY NTP & IARC. SEE INDIVIDUAL REPORTS FOR
    DETAILS.
Effects of Overexposure:METAL FUME FEVER:METALLIC

    DRYNESS AND IRRITATION.
Medical Cond Aggravated by Exposure:INDIVIDUALS WITH IMPAIRED PUMONARY
    FUNCTION OR ILLINESS MAY HAVE SYMPTOMS EXACERBATED BY IRRITANTS
    CONTAINED IN WELDING FUMES.

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

First Aid:CALL FOR MEDICAL AID.  INHALED: REMOVE FROM EXPOSURE, ASSIST
    BREATHING OR GIVE OXYGEN AS NEEDED.  ELECTRIC SHOCK: SHUT OFF POWER
    AND USE RED CROSS FIRST AID PROCEDURES AS NEEDED.  UV BURNS: TREAT
    AS S UN BURN IF ON SKIN AND SEE A PHYSICIAN IF ON EYES.  USE NORMAL
    FIRST AID FOR THERMAL BURNS.
