41 00... Information On Hazards
- 1.0 Aluminum INFORMATION/WARNING LABELS CHART
Hazards / effects Measures / regulations Repair stage 1:
(replacement of bolted parts, dent removal)
Repair stage 2:
(structural repairs with bonding and riveting)- When a vehicle outer shell is ground, aluminum dust accumulates in small amounts. This dust can be removed with conventional extractor systems.
Repair stage 3:
(structural repairs with welding)- Explosion hazard due to high concentration of fine aluminum dust.
Arising e.g. during straight-through grinding of coated parts in the base material and large-surface grinding of bright-finish parts.
- Explosion hazard due to swirling up of fine aluminum dust in cavities.
Created by the necessary, thorough cleaning of machining surfaces and tools before and after machining aluminum.
- Avoid high concentration of fine aluminum dust by means of continuous extraction.
- Use explosion-proof extractor systems.
- Do not use compressed air when cleaning the work bay.
- Avoid swirling up dust when cleaning the work area.
- Spontaneous combustion of fine aluminum dust when ignition and fire sources are drawn in.
E.g.: hot splinters, grinding sparks, cigarettes etc.
- Do not operate ignition and fire sources in the intake area of extractor systems.
