======================= First Aid Measures =======================
First Aid:INGEST:CALL MD IMMEDIATELY . INHAL:REMOVE TO FRESH AIR.
SUPPORT BREATHING (GIVE O*2/ARTIFICIAL RESPIRATION) . SKIN:SEEK
MEDICAL ATTENTION. CLEANSE WOUNDS THOROUGHLY TO REMOVE ANY
PARTICLES . EYE:IMMEDIATELY FLUSH EYEBALLS WITH PLENTY OF WATER FOR
AT LEAST 15 MINUTES. SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY.
===================== Fire Fighting Measures =====================
Extinguishing Media:MEDIA SUITABLE FOR SURROUNDING FIRE .
Fire Fighting Procedures:USE NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED SCBA AND FULL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT .
Unusual Fire/Explosion Hazard:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Spill Release Procedures:COLLECT SPILLS BY USING SWEEPING COMPOUND OR
BY VACUUMING WITH THE VACUUM EXHAUST PASSING THROUGH A HIGH
EFFICIENCY PARTICULATE ARRESTING (HEPA) FILTER IF THE EXHAUST IS
DISCHARGED INTO THE WORKPLACE.
Neutralizing Agent:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
====================== Handling and Storage ======================
Handling and Storage Precautions:KEEP CNTNR CLSD WHEN NOT IN USE. DO
NOT STORE NEAR ACIDS/REACTIVE SUBSTANCES. COPPER METAL CAN REACT
VIOLENTLY W/SUBSTANCES SUCH AS NITRATES, (ING 25)
Other Precautions:IF VENT ALONE CANNOT SO CONTROL EXPOS, USE
NIOSH/MSHA-APPRVD RESP SELECTED ACCORDING TO OSHA 29 CRF 1910.134.
MAINTAIN AIRBORNE NICKEL LEVELS AS LOW AS POSS. DO NOT INHAL POWER.
AVOID RPTD SKIN CNTCT. WEAR SUITABLE GLOVES.
Respiratory Protection:WEAR APPROPRIATE NIOSH/MSHA-APPROVED RESPIRATORS
IF COLLECTION AND DISPOSAL OF SPILLS IS LIKELY TO CAUSE THE
CONCENTRATION OF AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS TO EXCEED THEIR EXPOSURE
LIMITS.
Ventilation:NORMALLY REQUIRED WHEN HANDLING/USING THIS PRODUCT TO KEEP
EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS BELOW THEIR PELS.
Protective Gloves:IMPERVIOUS GLOVES .
Eye Protection:ANSI APPRVD CHEM WORKERS GOGGLES .
Other Protective Equipment:EYE WASH FOUNTAIN & DELUGE SHOWER WHICH MEET
ANSI DESIGN CRITERIA .
Work Hygienic Practices:WASH SKIN THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING. LAUNDER
CLOTHING AND GLOVES AS NEEDED.

Hazardous Decomposition Products:NONE SPECIFIED BY MANUFACTURER.
Waste Disposal Methods:DISPOSAL MUST BE I/A/W FEDERAL, STATE & LOCAL
REGULATIONS . NICKEL-CONTAINING WASTE IS NORMALLY COLLECTED TO
RECOVER METAL VALUES. SHOULD WASTE DISPOSAL BE DEEMED NECESSARY
FOLLOW EPA AND LOCAL REGULATIONS.
