Material Safety Data Sheets

(Hazard Materials)
MSDS’s Identifies Materials Present
in Products Which Have Hazardous
Physical or Health Properties

 Equipment operation
 Equipment maintenance(lock,tag,try)
 Recognition of hazards(‫حقيقة الضرر الواقع‬
 Safety rules
Housekeeping Module 2 - 12
‫ادارة وتأمين التجهيزات‬

… is the safety key to reducing:
 Tripping hazards‫مخاطر التعثر‬
 Fire hazards
 Blocked escape routes
 Improper materials storage
Protective Screens Module 2 - 13
Note C-Clamps hanging on top rail of screen.

Good Idea???

Fume
Exposure
Note Head
Position
Module 2 - 22
Fume Avoidance
The most important factor in avoiding fumes

during welding is the position of the head.
Keeping the head out of the fume plume
will avoid breathing the vast majority of the
fumes created.

Module 2 - 27
Cutting of Containers
 Prior use? Must know!
– Toxic chemicals
– Flammable chemicals
 Fill with inert gas/water
 Vent container
 Fire extinguishers nearby
