CARRS OF SHEFFIELD (MANUFACTURING) LIMITED ASSESSMENT OF WORK ACTIVITY Date of Assessment: September 2009 Assessment by: Martin Carr Responsible Manager: Production Manager Work Activity: Cutlery handle assembly General Description of Activity: Soldering the two halves of cutlery handles together Duration: upto 8 Hours per day Numbers Exposed: Upto 2 Hazards; 1. Skin irritation from flux solution Control From: 1. If this is a problem nitrile gloves should be worn COSHH; a. N/A – but see below Assessment of Control The main hazard is from skin irritation. The datasheets indicate that non-abraded skin has no effect after 4 hours. However, nitrile gloves are available to wear. The process consists of coating one half of the handle with the flux solution, placing the two halves together and holding together with cotton. Powder solder is then put inside the handle, which sticks to the flux, excess is re-used. The handles are then send through the furnace to cure the solder. The main COSHH risk from the chemicals is what may be given off when the materials are heated. However, this process does not heat the handles, so there is no risk from that hazard. Hands should be washed after using the process, before the eating of food. Eye contact with the flux of solder is very unlikely

Assessment of Control The main hazard is from skin irritation. The datasheets indicate that non-abraded skin has no effect after 4 hours. However, nitrile gloves are available to wear. The process consists of coating one half of the handle with the flux solution, placing the two halves together and holding together with cotton. Powder solder is then put inside the handle, which sticks to the flux, excess is re-used. The handles are then send through the furnace to cure the solder. The main COSHH risk from the chemicals is what may be given off when the materials are heated. However, this process does not heat the handles, so there is no risk from that hazard. Hands should be washed after using the process, before the eating of food. Eye contact with the flux of solder is very unlikely

DATA SHEET

Trade Name: Metbraze 67 Standard ISO 8513: L-Ag67 Type of Product: Silver Brazing Alloy ___________________________________________________________________________ Composition: 67% Silver 23% Copper 10% Zinc Melting Range: 700 - 730ºc. ___________________________________________________________________________ 1. APPEARANCE Silver/grey metal 2. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH DATA TLV Odour threshold:- Silver 0.1mg/m³ as fume Copper 0.2mg/m³ as fume Zinc 5.0mg/m³ as zinc

3. DANGERS TO HEALTH General The only potential health hazards involved with this product arise from its use. There are no storage or handling problems. On heating metal and metal oxide, fumes will be evolved. Inhalation Zinc Oxide fumes, if excessive, can be irritating to the upper respiratory tract and can cause metal fume fever. It is unlikely, however, that the TLV will be exceeded except under exceptional circumstances where overheating is a problem. 4. FIRST AID General Ingestion: None Skin: None Eyes: None 5. INFORMATION TO MEDICAL PERSONNEL Metal fume fever can be caused by exposure to excessive fumes of Copper. Symptoms are similar to those of influenza and often appear after a latent period of up to 10 hours. They will normally disappear after 12 hours with rest. 6. PROTECTIVE MEASURES Preventive measures, protective equipment etc. Tests to determine whether or not TLV's are being exceeded can be carried out by sampling the air using lapel samplers on the operators or static samples suitably situated. Normal analytical techniques are used to determine the metals on the filter. If tests show that TLV's are being exceeded, local exhaust ventilation should be installed. Rules defining care as to use 1) Do not overheat 2) If TLV's exceeded local exhaust ventilation should be installed.

DATA SHEET

Product: BN1 Flux Powder Composition: Mixture of complex fluoroborate and borate compounds of potassium. Melting range; 600 - 800 Deg C. ___________________________________________________________________________ PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Odourless powder with off-white appearance. Low solubility in water but forms paste easily; pH of suspension 8. Becomes fluid on heating. Non oxidising. HEALTH HAZARD DATA 1. Harmful by ingestion. Acute oral LD 50> 200mg/kg. 2. Irritating to the eyes. 3. Skin irritation: (a) No reaction to non-abraded skin on 4-hour contact. Immediate irritation will occur on contact with cuts and abrasions. (b) Moderately irritating, primary irritation index 4.13, after 24-hour contact carried out according to Draize skin test.

Page 7: CARRS OF SHEFFIELD (MANUFACTURING) LIMITED ASSESSMENT OF ... · CARRS OF SHEFFIELD (MANUFACTURING) LIMITED ASSESSMENT OF WORK ACTIVITY Assessment by: Date of Assessment: September

4. No response by the standard Magnusson andKligman delayed dermal sensitisation test. 5. On heating, the flux will fume slightly. With overheating, the fume will increase. The relevant threshold limit values are hydrogen fluoride 2mg/m³, fluoride (as F) 2.5mg/m³ and boron trifluoride 3mg/m³. In the absence of adequate ventilation, and particularly as the result of bad brazing practice, fume can cause irritation of nasal passages. Chronic over-exposure to fume for many years may result in fluorosis. FIRE & EXPLOSION HAZARD Data Non-flammable - use full protection with breathing apparatus if involved in a fire, as harmful fumes may be evolved. Handling Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Do not inhale dust or fumes evolved during use. In cases of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Smoking is inadvisable. Wash hands and clean fingernails before meals. Keep away from food, drink and animal feeding stuffs and out of the reach of children. Spillage and Disposal: 1. Packing lots: Add slowly to a large container of water. Stir in a slight excess of soda ash, then add slaked lime. Allow to stand for 24 hours. Decant or syphon into another container and neutralise with 1:1 hydrochloric acid before washing down the drain with a large excess of water. The sludge may be added to land fill. 2. (a) Solutions - Cover with soda ash, mix and scoop into container and add slaked lime. Then proceed as in 1. (b) Solids - add to container of hot water proceed as in 1. First Aid 1. Spills: Wash off with soap and water. Seek medical advice. 2. Eyes: Irrigate immediately with water and buffered phosphate for up to 20 minutes. In severe cases patients should be seen at the Hospital Eye Department. 3. Ingestion: Summon medical aid, induce vomiting if conscious, give copious lime water, milk or water drinks. Remove to hospital by ambulance. Intravenous injections of 10% Calcium gluconate repeated hourly remains the routine treatment for systemic poisoning. 4. Inhalation: In acute cases, remove to fresh air, apply artificial respiration and oxygen if necessary summon medical aid. Continue observation for 48 hours because of danger pulmonary oedema. (Note - poisoning by inhalation may also result from brazing metal fume or torch gases.)
