SECTION 2: Hazards identification
Classification according to GHS
Not classified as Hazardous according to the Hazardous Substances (Hazard Classification) Notice 2020, New Zealand. Not classified as Dangerous Goods for transport according to the New Zealand Standard NZS 5433:2020 Transport of Dangerous Goods on Land. IMPORTANT NOTE(S) EXPOSURE DURING USE As shipped, these electrodes have no known toxicological properties other than causing allergic reactions to individuals sensitive to the metal(s) contained in these welding products. When this product is used in a welding process the following hazards are most important: Heat: Splatter, hot, or molten metals can cause burns and start fires. Welding arc and sparks can ignite combustible and flammable materials. Radiation: Arc rays can damage skin and eyes. Electrical: Electric shock can kill. Fumes: Welding can generate fumes, mists, dust, vapours and gases, including metallic oxides, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, as well as solid particles, or other constituents from the consumables, base metal, or base metal coating. The amounts and types of fumes produced vary greatly depending on the process involved and the materials being used such as: metals, solvents, flux, paint and plastics. The health effects of exposure to fumes, dust, vapour and gases can vary. Effects can include irritation of the upper respiratory tract (nose and throat), tightness in the chest, asphyxiation, asthma, wheezing, metal fume fever, lung damage, bronchitis, cancer, pneumonia or emphysema. The short-term overexposure to fume and gases from welding may result in: metal fume fever, dizziness, nausea or dryness or irritant to the respiratory systems or eyes. May aggravate pre-existing respiratory problems. The long-term overexposure to fume and gases from welding can lead to: siderosis (iron deposits in lung), central nervous system effects, bronchitis and other pulmonary effects. Welding fumes may contain substances that are suspected of being carcinogenic. Persons with a pacemaker should not go near welding or cutting operations until they have consulted their doctor and obtained information from the manufacturer of the device.
