Guidance on Safe Use
Administrative data
First-aid measures
Ingestion: Large quantities of water should be drunk. Seek medical attention.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure. Seek medical attention.
skin: Wash throughly with water. For rashes seek medical advice. show label 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 oxide particles.
Fire-fighting measures
Suitable extinguishing media: Any, type to be selected according to materials stored in the immediate neighbourhood.
Special risks: Non flammable. Extinguish surrounding fires with appropriate methods.
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: Wear appropriate nationally approved respirators if collection and disposal of spills is likely to cause the concentratiion limits of airborne nickel to exceed the locally prescribed exposure limits.
Environmental protection measures: No specific measures needed.
Procedures for cleaning/absorption: Collect spills by wet sweeping or vacuuming with the vacuum exhaust passing through a high efficiency particulate arresting (HEPA) filter if exhaust is discharged into the work place. 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 dust. 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 oxide may constitute a manual handling risk.
Storage: keep in the container supplied, and keep container closed when not in use. Local regulations should be followed regarding the storage of this product.

Exposure controls / personal protection
Exposure limit values:
Nickel Oxide: TLV (mg/m3) = 0.2 (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 Oxide: 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.
Cobaltous Oxide: TLV (mg/m3) = 0.02 as Co 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.
Cobaltous Oxide: WEL (mg/m3) = 0.1 as Co; 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: Do not inhale dust. Ventilation is normally required when handling or using this product to keep airborne nickel below the nationally authorized limits. If ventilation alone cannot control exposure, respiratory protection must be used.
a) Respiratory protection: Do not inhale dust. If ventilation alone cannot control exposure, respiratory protection (selected specifically for the working place, depending on concentration and quantity of the hazardous material) must be used.
b) Eye protection: Avoid repeated eye contact. Wear goggles or face shield.
c) Hand and skin protection: Avoid repeated skin contact. Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves, which should be selected specifically for the working place, dependant on the concentration and quantity of the hazardous material (overalls and leather/rubber gloves). Wash skin thoroughly after handling and before eating, drinking or smoking. Change contaminated clothing frequently. Launder clothing and gloves as needed. Use of skin protective barrier cream advised.
Stability and reactivity
Conditions to be avoided: No hazardous exothermic reaction.
Substances to be avoided: None
Hazardous decomposition products: No information available.
Disposal considerations
Nickel-containing material is normally collected to recover nickel values. Should disposal be deemed necessary, follow local regulations.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
