Observe the patient carefully.

Never give liquid to a person showing signs of being sleepy or with reduced awareness; i.e. becoming unconscious.
Give water to rinse out mouth, then provide liquid slowly and as much as casualty can comfortably drink.
Seek medical advice.

Indication of any immediate medical attention and special treatment needed

Treat symptomatically.
In cases of nickel poisoning, dimercaptol delivered by deep intramuscular injection may be a suitable antidote. (Patients should not exhibit renal or
hepatic dysfunction.) The use of diethyldithiocarbamate is the subject of ongoing research.
Irritant contact dermatoses or eczemas may respond to applications of weak antiseptic packs, antibiotic ointments (tetracycline or erythromycin) or inert
pastes and ointments. Systemic antibiotics are advisable in the presence of lymphangitis or lymphadenitis.

SECTION 5 FIREFIGHTING MEASURES

Extinguishing media
Water spray or fog.
Foam.
Dry chemical powder.
BCF (where regulations permit).

Special hazards arising from the substrate or mixture

Fire Incompatibility

Avoid contamination with oxidising agents i.e. nitrates, oxidising acids, chlorine bleaches, pool chlorine etc. as ignition may
result

Advice for firefighters

Fire Fighting

Fire/Explosion Hazard

Alert Fire Brigade and tell them location and nature of hazard.
Wear breathing apparatus plus protective gloves.
Prevent, by any means available, spillage from entering drains or water courses.
Use water delivered as a fine spray to control fire and cool adjacent area.
Combustible solid which burns but propagates flame with difficulty; it is estimated that most organic dusts are combustible
(circa 70%) - according to the circumstances under which the combustion process occurs, such materials may cause fires
and / or dust explosions.
Organic powders when finely divided over a range of concentrations regardless of particulate size or shape and suspended
in air or some other oxidizing medium may form explosive dust-air mixtures and result in a fire or dust explosion (including
secondary explosions).
Avoid generating dust, particularly clouds of dust in a confined or unventilated space as dusts may form an explosive
mixture with air, and any source of ignition, i.e. flame or spark, will cause fire or explosion. Dust clouds generated by the
fine grinding of the solid are a particular hazard; accumulations of fine dust (420 micron or less) may burn rapidly and
fiercely if ignited - particles exceeding this limit will generally not form flammable dust clouds; once initiated, however,
larger particles up to 1400 microns diameter will contribute to the propagation of an explosion.

SECTION 6 ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

Personal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures

Minor Spills

Major Spills

Clean up waste regularly and abnormal spills immediately.

Avoid breathing dust and contact with skin and eyes.
Wear protective clothing, gloves, safety glasses and dust respirator.
Use dry clean up procedures and avoid generating dust.
Moderate hazard.
CAUTION: Advise personnel in area.
Alert Emergency Services and tell them location and nature of hazard.
Control personal contact by wearing protective clothing.
Personal Protective Equipment advice is contained in Section 8 of the MSDS.

SECTION 7 HANDLING AND STORAGE

Precautions for safe handling

Safe handling

Avoid all personal contact, including inhalation.

Wear protective clothing when risk of exposure occurs.
Use in a well-ventilated area.
Prevent concentration in hollows and sumps.

Exposure controls

Appropriate
engineering controls

Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed
engineering controls can be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to
provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and
ventilation that strategically "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment.

Personal protection

Eye and face

protection
Skin protection

Hands/feet protection

Body protection
Other protection
Thermal hazards

Safety glasses with side shields.

Chemical goggles.
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy
document, describing the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task.
See Hand protection below
NOTE:
The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and
other protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
Contaminated leather items, such as shoes, belts and watch-bands should be removed and destroyed.
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from
manufacturer to manufacturer.

CPI

* CPI - Chemwatch Performance Index

A: Best Selection
B: Satisfactory; may degrade after 4 hours continuous immersion
C: Poor to Dangerous Choice for other than short term immersion
NOTE: As a series of factors will influence the actual performance of the
glove, a final selection must be based on detailed observation. * Where the glove is to be used on a short term, casual or infrequent
basis, factors such as "feel" or convenience (e.g. disposability), may
dictate a choice of gloves which might otherwise be unsuitable following
long-term or frequent use. A qualified practitioner should be consulted.

SECTION 11 TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Information on toxicological effects

Inhaled

Ingestion

The material is not thought to produce either adverse health effects or irritation of the respiratory tract following inhalation (as
classified by EC Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, adverse systemic effects have been produced following
exposure of animals by at least one other route and good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and
that suitable control measures be used in an occupational setting.
Persons with impaired respiratory function, airway diseases and conditions such as emphysema or chronic bronchitis, may
incur further disability if excessive concentrations of particulate are inhaled.
If prior damage to the circulatory or nervous systems has occurred or if kidney damage has been sustained, proper
screenings should be conducted on individuals who may be exposed to further risk if handling and use of the material result
in excessive exposures.
Accidental ingestion of the material may be damaging to the health of the individual.
Nickel is not well absorbed orally. Excretion in the urine is complete after about 4-5 days.
Nickel salts cause vomiting, following ingestion as a result of the irritant effects.

Skin Contact

The material is not thought to produce adverse health effects or skin irritation following contact (as classified by EC
Directives using animal models). Nevertheless, good hygiene practice requires that exposure be kept to a minimum and that
suitable gloves be used in an occupational setting.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful
effects. Examine the skin prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.

Eye

Although the material is not thought to be an irritant (as classified by EC Directives), direct contact with the eye may cause
transient discomfort characterised by tearing or conjunctival redness (as with windburn). Slight abrasive damage may also
result.

Chronic

There has been concern that this material can cause cancer or mutations, but there is not enough data to make an
assessment.
Skin contact with the material is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared to the general
population.
There is some evidence that inhaling this product is more likely to cause a sensitisation reaction in some persons compared
to the general population.
Nickel causes a skin sensitisation which may produce a chronic eczema.

The following information refers to contact allergens as a group and may not be specific to this product.
Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's
oedema. The pathogenesis of contact eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of
the delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions, e.g. contact urticaria, involve antibody-mediated immune
reactions.
