2.4 Welding or Grinding Galvanized or
Stainless Steel Material
2.4.1 Galvanized Metal
CAUTION
Follow all OSHA and other workplace safety standards
when welding galvanized steel, which creates zinc
oxide fumes. Always grind the coating off in the area
to be welded and provide adequate ventilation to
avoid breathing the fumes.
Always wear proper breathing protection when
grinding or welding. Use ventilation or vacuum
systems to remove any contaminated air from the
work area.
Metal Fume Fever:
When zinc vapor mixes with the oxygen in the air,
it reacts instantly to become zinc oxide, which is
non-toxic and non-carcinogenic.
Zinc oxide that is inhaled is absorbed and
eliminated by the body without complications or
chronic effects.
Exposure to zinc oxide fumes causes a flu-like
illness called metal fume fever.
Symptoms include headache, fever, chills,
muscle aches, nausea, vomiting, weakness, and
tiredness.
There are no long-term health effects. Metal fume
fever typically begins about four hours after
exposure, and full recovery occurs within 48
hours.
2.4.2 Stainless Steel
Follow all OSHA and other workplace safety standards
when welding stainless steel, which creates hexavalent
chromium fumes that can irritate the nose, throat, and
lungs.
Repeated or prolonged exposure can damage the
mucous membranes of the nasal passages and
result in ulcers. In severe cases, exposure causes
perforation of the septum (the wall separating the
nasal passages).
Always wear proper breathing protection when
grinding or welding. Use ventilation or vacuum
systems to remove any contaminated air from the
work area.
