Exposure Controls: The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary depending
upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls based on a risk
assessment of local circumstances. Appropriate measures include: Adequate
ventilation to control airborne concentrations. Where material is heated,
sprayed or mist formed, there is greater potential for airborne concentrations
to be generated.
Personal Protective: Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet
Equipment recommended national standards. Check with PPE suppliers.
Respiratory Protection: No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal conditions of
use. In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices, precautions should
be taken to avoid breathing of material. If engineering controls do not
maintain airborne concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect
worker health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the
specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation. Check with
respiratory protective equipment suppliers. Where air-filtering respirators are
suitable, select an appropriate combination of mask and filter. Select a filter
suitable for combined particulate/organic gases and vapors [boiling point >65
°C (149 °F)].
Hand Protection: Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of gloves approved
to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374, US: F739) made from the
following materials may provide suitable chemical protection: PVC,
neoprene or nitrile rubber gloves. Suitability and durability of a glove is
dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical
resistance of glove material, glove thickness, and dexterity. Always seek
advice from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only
be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be washed and
dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is
recommended.
Eye Protection: Wear safety glasses or full face shield if splashes are likely to occur.
Protective Clothing: Skin protection not ordinarily required beyond standard issue work clothes.
Monitoring Methods: Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing zone of
workers or in the general workplace may be required to confirm compliance
with an OEL and adequacy of exposure controls. For some substances
biological monitoring may also be appropriate.
Environmental Exposure: Minimize release to the environment. An environmental assessment must be
Controls made to ensure compliance with local environmental legislation
