8.2 EXPOSURE CONTROLS
Engineering Controls:
When using product, provide local and general exhaust ventilation to
keep airborne dust concentrations below exposure limits. Use wet
methods, if appropriate, to reduce the generation of dust.

Personal Protective Equipment:
Eye/Face Protection:
Safety glasses or goggles are recommended when using product.
Skin Protection:
Hand Protection:

Body Protection:
Wear suitable protective clothing.
Respiratory Protection:
A NIOSH approved dust mask or filtering facepiece is recommended in
poorly ventilated areas or when permissible exposure limits may be
exceeded. Respirators should be selected by and used under the
direction of a trained health and safety professional following
requirements found in OSHA’s respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134)
and ANSI’s standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2).
