Prevent entry intosewers, water courses, basements or confined areas. Vacuum or sweep up materialand place in a designated, labeled waste container. Avoid creating dusty conditions andprevent wind dispersal. Dispose of via a licensed waste disposal contractor. Note: seesection 1 for emergency contact information and section 13 for waste disposal.HandlingStorage::Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Eating, drinking andsmoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored andprocessed. Workers should wash hands and face before eating, drinking and smoking.Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas.Avoid exposure - obtain special instructions before use. Do not get in eyes or on skin orclothing. Do not ingest. Avoid breathing dust. If during normal use the materialpresents a respiratory hazard, use only with adequate ventilation or wear appropriaterespirator. Keep in the original container or an approved alternative made from acompatible material, kept tightly closed when not in use. Empty containers retainproduct residue and can be hazardous. Do not reuse container.Store in accordance with local regulations. Store in original container protected fromdirect sunlight in a dry, cool and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials(see section 10) and food and drink. Keep container tightly closed and sealed until readyfor use. Containers that have been opened must be carefully resealed and kept uprightto prevent leakage. Do not store in unlabeled containers. Use appropriate containmentto avoid environmental contamination.8. Exposure controls/personal protectionIngredientExposure limitsNickel ACGIH TLV (United States, 2/2010).

If user operations generate dust, fumes, gas, vaporor mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controlsto keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutorylimits.: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, beforeeating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriatetechniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Washcontaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showersare close to the workstation location.:::Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approvedstandard if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must bebased on known or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safeworking limits of the selected respirator.Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should beworn at all times when handling chemical products.Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a riskassessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists ordusts. If operating conditions cause high dust concentrations to be produced, use dustgoggles.Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task beingperformed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handlingthis product.ZNI191-04104/9
