SECTION 2: Hazards identification

CLASSIFICATION Castings are metal articles that do not present hazards in their original form Grinding castings that have not been cleaned or that contain embedded sand may generate significant amounts of dust containing crystalline silica. Dust or fumes generated by machining, grinding, drilling, melting, casting, sawing, blasting, polishing, buffing, brazing, soldering, welding or thermal cutting of the casting may produce airborne contaminants. The following proposed classification and label elements are for the hazardous substances that could be released or generated from these processes PROPOSED Respiratory Sensitizer, Category 1A (hexavalent chromium) H334 CLASSIFICATION Skin Sensitizer, Category 1 (nickel, hexavalent chromium) H317 Carcinogen, Category 1 (inhalation, respiratory tract); (nickel H350 oxide, hexavalent chromium, crystalline silica) Specific Target Organ Toxicity - Repeated Exposure, Category 1 H370 inhalation; respiratory tract) (nickel, hexavalent chromium, crystalline silica) Specific Target Organ Toxicity - Repeated Exposure, Category 2 H373 central nervous system) (manganese) Acute Aquatic Toxicity, Category 1 (copper) H400
