Special Protection Information
 
If operations are such that atmospheric levels of contaminants exceed prescribed limits, provide local exhaust ventilation and/or adequate respiratory protection.  Consult your regional codes or code of Federal Regulations, Title 29, Part 1910.252, Welding, Cutting and Brazing, 1910.134, Respiratory Protection, and 1910- Subpart Z. Toxic and Hazardous Substances.  Personal protective equipment, such as gloves for handling, goggles and dust filter masks for grinding, proper respirators for welding, etc. should be provided and worn.

Please not that all carbon steel forgings that we manufacture present no health hazard in their natural state during use, transportation or storage.  However, operations such as burning, welding or grinding may generate concentrations of dust particles or fumes of the alloying elements that may present hazards.  For the information to be effective, it must be passed along to all safety and health personnel in your firm, as well as to all personnel who handle or use the products and/or are involved with the implementation or control of operations involving the products.
