HEALTH HAZARDS
Primary entry routes:
 Health hazards may arise from inhalation of dust generated from handling, ingestion and or contact with skin or eyes.
Acute health effects:
 This product may cause transitory eye, skin and upper respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic health effects:
 Long term-unprotected exposures to dust levels in excess of the PEL/TLV may cause lung damage (silicosis), a non-cancerous lung disease. IARC (the International Agency for Research on Cancer) states there is sufficient evidence in animals and limited evidence in human studies that crystalline silica is a probable carcinogen.
Medical conditions that may be aggravated by contact:
 Pre-existing upper respiratory and lung disease such as, but not limited to, bronchitis, emphysema and asthma.
Signs and symptoms of overexposure:
Eyes:
 Temporary irritation and inflammation.
Skin:
 May cause allergic dermatitis.
Inhalation:
 Inhalation of concentrations above the Occupational Exposure Limits may cause congestion and irritation of the throat, nasal passages and upper respiratory system.
Ingestion:
 May cause stomach and intestinal distress.
Emergency and first aid procedures
Eyes:
 Flush eyes with large amounts of water at least 15 minutes.
Skin:
 Remove contaminated clothing. Wash skin with soap and water. Get medical attention if irritation or inflammation persists.
Inhalation:
 Remove to fresh air. May give oxygen. Consult physician.
Ingestion:
 Induce vomiting if conscious. Consult physician.


SPILL, LEAK AND DISPOSAL PROCEDURES
Notify safety personnel of spills or leaks. Clean up personnel need protection against inhalation of dusts and skin or eye contact.
Vacuum clean dusts generated during installation or disposal. If sweeping is necessary, use a dust suppressant. Place in appropriate containers for reuse or disposal in an approved landfill in accordance with Federal, State and Local laws.
Nickel compounds are listed as toxic chemicals and are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 313 of Title III of the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act of 1986 (SARA) and 40 CFR 372.


SPECIFIC PROTECTION INFORMATION
Respiratory protection:
 Use NIOSH approved respirator for protection against dusts generated during installation or disposal.
Ventilation:
 Provide general an or local exhaust ventilation to keep exposure below ACGIH TLV.
Protective clothing:
 Wear protective clothing, including long sleeves and gloves, to prevent repeated or prolonged skin contacts and or abrasions.
Eye protection:
 Chemical splash goggles designed in compliance with OSHA regulations are recommended for normal.
Storage:
 Store in a dry area. Keep poly liner sealed to prevent ingress of moisture.
