Appropriate engineering
controls
No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control
worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains ingredients with exposure
limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep
worker exposure below any recommended or statutory limits.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment
indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts.
Skin protection
Hand
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at
all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
Other
Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected based on
the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before
handling this product.
Respiratory protection
Use a properly fitted, particulate filter respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or
anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the
selected respirator.
Thermal hazards
None.
General hygiene
considerations
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating,
smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques
should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Contaminated work clothing should
not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that
eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
