Letter 17073
Environment & worker health safety on a
nickel-chrome plated steel bumper
++
We assemble nickel and chrome plated steel bumpers. The bumpers
are plated at an outside vendor. What we are looking for is some kind
of documentation that tells us in the finished metallic state that
the bumper does not create any kind of environmental or personal
hazard to the assembler or end user.

Your major problems will be with contact dermatitis. About 10-15%
could be susceptible to eczema induced by nickel and there are claims
of a similar, but not so common, problem with chromium. If you are
machining the bumpers, there could be other hazards associated it
inhalation. Health and safety issues depend on what youn are doing to
the parts. I suggest you consult a Health and Safety specialist in
Canada as diferent countries have different legislation and
requirements. As far as environmental issues are concerned, again
consult a local expert because of local legislation.
