Special Firefighting Procedures: Keep containers cool by spraying with water, avoid inhalation of combustion products
Personal Precautions: Evacuate area, prevent inhalation and contact, use approved respirators, wear chemical-resistant gloves and clothing
Environmental Precautions: Prevent material from entering drains or watercourses, contain spillage using non-combustible absorbent materials (sand, earth)
Methods for Containment and Cleaning Up: Sweep up solid or use vacuum with HEPA filter, place in labeled hazardous waste container, avoid generating airborne dust, ventilate area thoroughly
Spill Response: Notify authorities in case of large spills, follow local regulations for hazardous material handling
Safe Handling Guidance: Use only in well-ventilated areas, avoid generation of dust, handle within closed systems or fume hoods, prevent skin and eye exposure, wash hands before breaks and after use
Storage Requirements: Keep container tightly closed, store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location away from incompatible substances such as acids, oxidizers, and reducing agents
Storage Temperature: Avoid temperatures above 30°C to prevent degradation
Incompatible Materials: Strong acids, strong bases, oxidizing agents
Exposure Limits: OSHA PEL for nickel compounds: 1 mg/m³ (as Ni), ACGIH TLV: 0.1 mg/m³ (inhalable fraction)
Engineering Controls: Provide process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below recommended limits
Personal Protection: NIOSH/MSHA approved respirators if exposure exceeds limits, chemical-resistant gloves (such as nitrile or neoprene), safety glasses with side-shields, protective clothing (long sleeves, lab coat or chemical suit)
