| 3. HAZARD IDENTIFICATION | |
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE:
ROUTE(S) OF ENTRY: INHALATION AND SKIN CONTACT.
EYE AND SKIN: WHEN WELDING, ARC RAYS CAN INJURE EYES AND BURN SKIN
INHALATION:
EXPOSURE TO NICKEL CONTAINING DUST AND WELDING FUMES, MAY CAUSE IRRITATION
TO UPPER RESPIRATORY TRACT. MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY SENSITIZATION IN
SUSCEPTIBLE INDIVIDUALS.
REASONABLE EXPECTED DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS FROM NORMAL USE OF THESE
PRODUCTS INCLUDE A COMPLEX OF THE OXIDES OF THE MATERIALS LISTED IN SECTION
2, AS WELL AS CARBON MONOXIDE, CARBON DIOXIDE, OZONE, AND NITROGEN OXIDES
(REFER TO "CHARACTERIZATION OF ARC WELDING FUME" AVAILABLE FROM THE
AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY). THE TLV FOR MANGANESE (0.02 MG/M3) WILL BE
REACHED BEFORE THE GENERAL LIMIT FOR WELDING FUMES OF 5 MG/M3 IS REACHED.
MONITOR FUMES FOR MAGANESE LEVELS. THE ONLY WAY TO DETERMINE THE TRUE
IDENTITY OF THE DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS IS BY SAMPLING AND ANALYSIS. THE
COMPOSITION AND QUANTITY OF THE FUMES AND GASES TO WHICH A WORKER MAY BE
OVEREXPOSED CAN BE DETERMINED FROM A SAMPLE OBTAINED FROM INSIDE THE
WELDER'S HELMET, IF WORN, OR IN THE WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE. SEE ANSI/AWS
F1.1 "METHOD FOR SAMPLING AIRBORNE PARTICLES GENERATED BY WELDING AND
ALLIED PROCESSES." AVAILABLE FROM THE AMERICAN WELDING SOCIETY.
INGESTION:
AMOUNTS INGESTED INCIDENTAL TO INDUSTRIAL HANDLING ARE NOT LIKELY TO CAUSE
INJURY. SINGLE DOSE ORAL TOXICITY IS LOW.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC EXPOSURE:
REFER TO SECTION 11 FOR SPECIFIC TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION.
| 4. FIRST AID MEASURES | |
INHALATION: REMOVE VICTIM TO FRESH AIR IF EFFECTS OCCUR.
SKIN: WASH OFF WITH SOAP AND PLENTY OF WATER.
EYES: IRRIGATE WITH WATER FOR SEVERAL MINUTES.
INGESTION: RINSE MOUTH.
NOTE TO PHYSICIAN: NO PARTICULAR ADVICE.
| 5. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES | |
MEANS OF EXTINGUISHING: NO DANGER REQUIRING SPECIAL MEASURES.
SPECIAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT WHEN FIGHTING FIRE: NONE.
| 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES | |
INDIVIDUAL PRECAUTIONS: AVOID DUST FORMATION/BREATHING DUST.
ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION PRECAUTIONS: NO PARTICULAR INDICATIONS.
CLEANING MEASURES: REMOVE SPOILED PRODUCT MECHANICALLY.
| 7. HANDLING AND STORAGE | |
7.1 HANDLING: WITH STANDARD TRANSPORTATION EQUIPMENT.
7.2 STORAGE: STORE IN A DRY PLACE IN CLOSED PACKAGES.
| 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION | |
TECHNICAL MEASURES:
USE ADEQUATE LOCAL EXHAUST FOR WELDING FUMES.
AVOID GRINDING DUST INHALATION
EXPOSURE LIMITS: SEE SECTION 2.
PERSONAL PROTECTION:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: USE AN AIR PURIFYING DUST RESPIRATOR.
HANDS PROTECTION: WEAR APPROPRIATE GLOVES TO PREVENT SKIN CONTACT.
EYES PROTECTION: WELDER'S HELMETS.
SKIN PROTECTION: WEAR APPROPRIATE OVERALLS TO PREVENT SKIN OR BODY CONTACT.

HAZARDOUS DECOMPOSITION PRODUCTS: UNKNOWN.
| 11. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION | |
EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE:
TOXICITY TO ANIMALS:
VALUES LD/LC50 NICKEL: >9000 MG/KG
LOCAL EFFECTS: NOT APPLICABLE.
INHALATION:
NOT APPLICABLE FOR THE PRODUCT. FOR WELDING FUMES SEE SECTION 3.
INGESTION: NOT APPLICABLE.
CONTACT WITH SKIN: MAY CAUSE DERMATITIS IN SENSITISED INDIVIDUALS.
CARCINOGENICITY:
METALLIC NICKEL AND CERTAIN NICKEL ALLOYS ARE CLASSIFIED POSSIBLY
CARCINOGENIC TO HUMANS, BASED ON INADEQUATE EVIDENCE OF EFFECTS IN HUMANS.
WHILE EPIDEMIOLOGY STUDIES HAVE DEMONSTRATED AN INCREASED RISK OF NASAL,
LUNG, AND POSSIBLE RISK OF LARYNGEAL CANCER, THE MOST LIKELY CAUSATIVE
AGENTS WERE NICKEL SUBSULFIDE, NICKEL SULFIDE AND NICKEL OXIDE, WITH CANCER
LINKED PRINCIPALLY TO THE NICKEL REFINING PROCESS OF ROASTING NICKEL
SULPHIDE ORES AND NOT TO METALLIC NICKEL ITSELF. EVIDENCE IMPLICATING
METALLIC NICKEL AND NICKEL ALLOYS, OR THE HYDROMETALLURGICAL NICKEL
REFINING PROCESS AS RESPIRATORY CARCINOGENS FOR HUMANS IS LACKING. COHORT
MORTALITY STUDIES OF WORKERS IN INDUSTRIES IN WHICH EXPOSURE WAS LIMITED TO
METALLIC NICKEL OR THE HYDROMETALLURGICAL PROCESS FOUND NO ASSOCIATION
BETWEEN EXPOSURE TO METALLIC NICKEL AND ITS ALLOYS TO THE SUBSEQUENT
DEVELOPMENT OF RESPIRATORY CANCER.
EFFECTS OF CHRONIC (LONG-TERM) OVEREXPOSURE TO AIR CONTAMINANTS MAY LEAD
TO THEIR ACCUMULATION IN THE LUNGS, A CONDITION WHICH MAY BE SEEN AS DENSE
AREAS ON CHEST X-RAYS. THE SEVERITY OF THE CHANGE IS PROPORTIONAL TO THE
LENGTH OF EXPOSURE. THE CHANGES SEEN ARE NOT NECESSARILY ASSOCIATED WITH
SYMPTOMS OR SIGNS OF REDUCED LUNG FUNCTION OR DISEASE. IN ADDITION, THE
CHANGES ON X-RAYS MAY BE CAUSED BY NON-WORK FACTORS SUCH AS SMOKING, ETC.
NICKEL AND CHROMIUM (IN SOME PRODUCTS) ARE CONSIDERED CARCINOGENIC. LONG
TERM OVEREXPOSURE TO NICKEL FUMES MAY ALSO CAUSE PULMONARY FIBROSIS AND
EDEMA. OVEREXPOSURE TO MANGANESE COMPOUNDS MAY AFFECT THE CENTRAL NERVOUS
SYSTEM, SYMPTOMS OF WHICH ARE LANGUOR, SLEEPINESS, MUSCULAR WEAKNESS,
EMOTIONAL DISTURBANCES, AND SPASTIC GAIT. THE EFFECT OF MANGANESE ON THE
NERVOUS SYSTEM IS IRREVERSIBLE.
