Hand protection
Wear protective gloves if prolonged or repeated contact is likely. Wear chemical
resistant gloves. Recommended: Nitrile gloves. The correct choice of protective gloves
depends upon the chemicals being handled, the conditions of work and use, and the
condition of the gloves (even the best chemically resistant glove will break down after
repeated chemical exposures). Most gloves provide only a short time of protection
before they must be discarded and replaced. Because specific work environments and
material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each
intended application. Gloves should therefore be chosen in consultation with the supplier/
manufacturer and with a full assessment of the working conditions.

Eye/face protection
Environmental exposure
controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they
comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases,
fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be
necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Appropriate engineering
controls
All activities involving chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health, to ensure
exposures are adequately controlled. Personal protective equipment should only be
considered after other forms of control measures (e.g. engineering controls) have been
suitably evaluated. Personal protective equipment should conform to appropriate
standards, be suitable for use, be kept in good condition and properly maintained.
Your supplier of personal protective equipment should be consulted for advice on
selection and appropriate standards. For further information contact your national
organisation for standards.
Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant airborne
concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits.
The final choice of protective equipment will depend upon a risk assessment. It is
important to ensure that all items of personal protective equipment are compatible.
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.
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.

Skin protection
Consult your supervisor or Standard Operating Procedure (S.O.P) for special handling
instructions.
While specific OELs for certain components may be shown in this section, other components may be present in any mist,
vapor or dust produced. Therefore, the specific OELs may not be applicable to the product as a whole and are provided
