SECTION 3 - HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION
EMERGENCY OVERVIEW Harmful by inhalation, in contact with skin and if swallowed. Irritating to eyes.Air sensitive.Cancer suspect agent. Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes mild eye irritation.
Skin:
May cause skin irritation. May cause allergic contact dermatitis.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause kidney damage. Effects may be cumulative. Human fatalities have been reported from acute poisoning.
Inhalation:
May cause respiratory tract irritation. May cause pulmonary fibrosis and permanent damage. Systemic intoxication is cumulative and has been fatal.
Chronic:
Repeated exposure may cause sensitization dermatitis. Cobalt compounds may cause cancer based upon animal studies.
SECTION 4 - FIRST AID MEASURES
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids.
Skin:
Flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do NOT induce vomiting. If conscious and alert, rinse mouth and drink 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately.
Notes to Physician:
SECTION 5 - FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full protective gear. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion. Use extinguishing media appropriate to the surrounding fire. Substance is noncombustible.
Extinguishing Media:
Substance is noncombustible; use agent most appropriate to extinguish surrounding fire.
SECTION 6 - ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES
General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal container. Avoid runoff into storm sewers and ditches which lead to waterways. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the Protective Equipment section. Sweep up, then place into a suitable container for disposal. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Place under an inert atmosphere.
SECTION 7 - HANDLING and STORAGE
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Wash hands before eating. Use only in a well-ventilated area. Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Avoid contact with eyes, skin, and clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Handle under an inert atmosphere. Store protected from air. Use only in a chemical fume hood. Wash clothing before reuse.
Storage:
Keep from contact with oxidizing materials. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from incompatible substances. Keep containers tightly closed. Do not expose to air. Store under an inert atmosphere.
SECTION 8 - EXPOSURE CONTROLS, PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate general or local exhaust ventilation to keep airborne concentrations below the permissible exposure limits. Exposure Limits CAS# 513-79-1: United Kingdom, WEL - TWA: (listed as cobalt compounds): 0.1 mg/m TWA (as Co) United Kingdom, WEL - STEL: (listed as cobalt compounds): 0.3 mg/ STEL (as Co)

Malaysia: (listed as cobalt, inorganic compounds): 0.02 mg/m3 TWA Co)
Spain: (listed as cobalt, inorganic compounds): 0.02 mg/m3 VLA-ED Co) Personal Protective Equipment
Eyes:
Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR 1910.133 or European Standard EN166.
Skin:
Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure.
Clothing:
Wear appropriate protective clothing to minimize contact with skin.
Respirators:
A respiratory protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements or European Standard EN 149 must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant respirator use.
