SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Main Hazards All cylinders are portable gas containers, and must be regarded as pressurised all times. Although the above listed Shielding gas
Contains
Oxygen, the concentration is too low to support life. It can act as simple asphyxiant by diluting the concentration of Oxygen in the air to below levels necessary to support life. Adverse Health Effects Inhalation of Shielding gases in excessive concentrations can result in dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness and death. Chemical Hazards At elevated temperatures, the Oxygen component could react with a range of materials to form irritating or toxic compounds. Biological Hazards No known effect. Vapour Inhalation As Shielding gases act as simple asphyxiants, death may result from errors in judgement, confusion, or loss of consciousness which prevents self-rescue. At low Oxygen concentrations, unconsciousness and death may occur in seconds without warning.
