Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Ingestion: Seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Seek medical attention.
Skin: Wash thoroughly with water. For rashes seek medical advice. Show label or data sheet if possible.
Eyes: Irrigate eyeball thoroughly with water for at least 10 minutes. If discomfort persists seek medical attention.
Wounds: Cleanse thoroughly to remove any nickel particles.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Any, type to be selected according to material in the immediate neighbourhood
Special protective equipment for fire fighting: None needed. Wear protective equipment if required for other materials within the immediate vicinity
Accidental release measures
Person related precautionary measures: Avoid generation of dusty atmospheres. Do not inhale dusts.
Environmental protection measures: No specific measures needed.
Procedures for cleaning/absorption: Pick up and replace in original container. Nickel containing material is normally collected to recover nickel values.
Handling and storage
Handling: Prevent the generation of inhalable dusts e.g. by the use of suitable ventilation. Do not inhale dusts. Wear appropriate nationally approved respirators if handling is likely to cause the concentration limits of airborne nickel to exceed the locally prescribed exposure limits. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves. As packed nickel product may constitute a manual handling risk.
Storage: Keep in the container supplied, and keep the container closed when not in use. Containers should be stored under cover in a clean and dry environment.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Nickel: TLV (mg/m3) = 1.5 (inhalable particle size fraction); based on Threshold Limit Values of the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (2008); Exposure Limits for user operations will depend on the relevant governmental regulations.
Nickel: WEL (mg/m3) = 0.5; based on Maximum Exposure Limit of the Health and Safety Executive in the U.K. in EH40/00; Exposure Limits for user operations will depend on the relevant governmental regulations.
Maintain airborne nickel levels as low as possible.
Occupational exposure controls:
a) Respiratory protection: As supplied this product does not pose a health hazard due to inhalation. Ventilation may be required if user operations change it to other physical or chemical forms, whether as end products, intermediates or fugitive emissions, which are inhalable.
b) Eye protection: None.
c) Hand and skin protection: Avoid skin contact. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves, which should be selected specifically for the working place, dependent on the concentration and quantity of the hazardous material being handled. Wash skin thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking or smoking. Launder clothing and gloves as needed.
Stability and reactivity
Conditions to be avoided: None.
Substances to be avoided: This product can react vigorously with acids to liberate hydrogen, which can form explosive mixtures with air.
Hazardous decomposition products: None
Disposal considerations
Nickel containing material is normally collected to recover nickel values. Should disposal be deemed necessary follow local regulations.
