Heckmann
Building Products Inc. manufactures its building products
from sheet steel, bar and coil stock, and wire in
Plain Steel, Mill Galvanized Steel, Electro Galvanized
After Fabrication, Hotdip Galvanized After Fabrication,
and Stainless Steel. The products we manufacture present
no health hazard in their natural state during use,
storage, or transportation. However, operations such
as flame cutting, shot blasting, or welding may generate
concentrations of dust particles of the alloying elements
that may present hazards. All operations of this nature
should be performed in well ventilated areas.
The
following paragraph is the exemption for finished
products which are not welded, such as the Pos-I-TieÒ
anchoring system and the eye and pintle combination.
It is from the Code of Federal Regulations:
29

HEALTH & SAFETY INFORMATION
Steel
products in the natural state do not present an inhalation,
ingestion, or contact health hazard. However, operations
such as welding, burning, sawing, brazing, grinding,
and possibly machining, which results in elevating
the temperature of the product to or above its melting
point or results in the generation of airborne particulates
may present hazards. The above operations
should
be performed in well ventilated areas. The major exposure
hazard is inhalation.
Acute:
Excessive inhalation of metallic fumes and dusts may
result in irritation of eyes, nose and throat. Also
high concentrations of fumes and dusts of iron-oxide,
maganese, copper, zinc, and lead may result in the
dreaded metal fume fever.
Typical
symptoms consist of a metallic taste in the mouth,
dryness and irritation of the throat, chills and fever,
and usually last from 12 to 48 hours.
Chronic:
Chronic and prolonged inhalation of high concentrations
of fumes or dust of the following elements may lead
to the conditions listed opposite the element:
IRON:
Pulmonary effects, siderosis.
MANGANESE:
Bronchitis, pheumonitis, lack of coordination.
CHROMIUM:
