8.2 Appropriate engineering
controls:
Local ventilation may be required during certain operations to maintain
concentrations below recommended exposure limits. Use explosion-proof
ventilation equipment.
8.3 Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment:
Eye Protection:
Wear 1) safety glasses with side shields and a faceshield or 2) goggles and a
faceshield. Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash station and safety shower.
Skin Protection:
Wear chemical resistant gloves such as polyvinyl alcohol or Viton®. If
splashing is likely, wear impervious clothing and boots to prevent repeated
or prolonged skin contact. Consult your supplier of personal protective
equipment for additional instructions on proper usage. The selection of a
specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace
should also take into account all requisite workplace factors such as, but not
limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements
(cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), as well as the
instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
Respiratory Protection:
A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with organic vapor
cartridge or canister may be necessary under certain circumstances where
airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits. A respiratory
protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2
requirements must be followed whenever workplace conditions warrant a
respirator's use. Protection provided by air purifying respirators is limited.
Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator if 1) there is any potential for
an uncontrolled release, 2) exposure levels are not known, or 3) during other
circumstances where air purifying respirators may not provide adequate
protection.
