Safety in Welding, Cutting, and Allied Processes

ANSI Z49.1:1999
WARNING:
PROTECT yourself and others. Read and understand this
information.
FUMES AND GASES can be hazardous to your health.
ARC RAYS can injure eyes and burn skin.
ELECTRIC SHOCK can KILL.
¥ Before use, read and understand the manufacturers instructions,
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs), and
your employers safety practices.
¥ Keep your head out of the fumes.
¥ Use enough ventilation, exhaust at the arc, or both, to
keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and
the general area.
¥ Wear correct eye, ear, and body protection.
¥ Do not touch live electrical parts.

9.4 Hazardous Materials Information. When the fume
from a product contains a by-product component whose
allowable limit will be exceeded before the general welding
fume allowable limit, the by-product component shall
be identified on the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
These include, but shall not be limited to, by-products of
the materials itemized in 5.5.1.
9.5 Brazing Filler Metals Containing Cadmium. As a
minimum, brazing filler metals containing cadmium as a
designated constituent shall carry the information shown
in Figure 3, or its equivalent, on tags, boxes, or other containers,
and on any coils of wire not supplied to the user in
a labeled container.
9.6 Brazing and Gas Welding Fluxes Containing
Fluorides. As a minimum, brazing and gas welding fluxes
containing fluorine compounds shall have precautionary
information as shown in Figure 4, or its equivalent, on
tags, boxes, or other containers to indicate that they contain
fluorine compounds.
E9.4 A number of potentially hazardous materials are
employed in the fluxes, coatings, coverings, and filler
metals used in welding and cutting, or are released to the
atmosphere during welding and cutting. Material Safety
Data Sheets (MSDSs) are required by federal regulations
(see 9.7).
