You can go to OSHA's Annotated list of PELs and look up the California standards, but the OSHA PEL-TWA is 0.001 ppm so if there is any chance it can get loose you need some air monitoring.  And any non-routine work with a highly toxic substance like this requires a written risk assessment.  It's IARC-1, NIOSH Ca, NTP-K, so that is clearly a carcinogen.   Monona

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Nickel Carbonyl

I have a client in California who is considering using a process that
uses nickel carbonyl. I have made them aware of the extremely toxic
nature of this compound. The only reason they are considering it is that
it solves a problem that would be very difficult to achieve any other
way. My question to the community is this: what, if any, specific
regulations are there regarding the use of this compound?

Thank you
