HANDLING AND STORAGE Safety Data Sheet Page 4 of 7 Wieland NA RA SDS No.:00024.0001 Cold Rolled Carbon Steel Revision Date: 6/1/15 Review Date: 2/21/20 CAS # CHEMICAL NAME ACGIH TLV OSHA PEL INTERNATIONAL OELS 7439-89-6 Iron None established None established None established 7439-96-5 Manganese 0.2 mg/m3 Ceiling – 5 mg/m3 Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Switzerland, U.K. – 1 mg/m3 Sweden – 2.5 mg/m3 Germany (MAK) – 0.5 mg/m3 *This substance is regulated by OSHA as a Particulate Not Otherwise Regulated (PNOR). The exposure limits listed for both OSHA and ACGIH refer to total dust; the OSHA PEL for the respirable fraction is 5 mg/m3. ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Local exhaust ventilation is recommended if significant dusting occurs or fumes are generated. Otherwise, use general exhaust ventilation. EYE / FACE PROTECTION: Use safety glasses. SKIN PROTECTION: Wear impervious (cut-resistant), gloves and other protective clothing (aprons, coveralls) as appropriate. If handling heated materials, use heat resistant gloves and clothing. Wash hands after handling. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Respiratory protection not normally needed. If dusting occurs or fumes are generated above the PEL/TLV, use a NIOSH-approved half-face or full-face respirator equipped with High Efficiency Particulate (HEPA) filter cartridges. GENERAL HYGIENE CONSIDERATIONS: Do not eat, drink, or smoke while using this product in dust form. Incompatible Materials for Packaging: None known Incompatible Materials for Storage or Transport: Store away from acids and incompatible materials. OTHER PRECAUTIONS: Do not shake clothing, rags or other items to remove dust. Dust should be removed by washing or HEPA vacuuming.
