8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Controls:
Where engineering controls are indicated by specific use conditions or a potential for excessive
exposure, use local exhaust ventilation at the point of generation.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Eye/Face Protection: Not normally required. To avoid contact with eyes, wear chemical goggles or
shielded safety glasses. An emergency eyewash or water supply should be readily accessible to the work
area.
Skin Protection: To avoid contact with skin, wear long pants, long-sleeved shirt, socks and shoes. An
emergency shower or water supply should be readily accessible to the work area.
Respiratory Protection: Not normally required. If vapors or mists exceed acceptable levels, wear
NIOSH approved air-purifying respirator with cartridges/canisters approved for use against pesticides.
General Hygiene Considerations: Personal hygiene is an important work practice exposure control
measure and the following general measures should be taken when working with or handling this
material: 1) do not store, use and/or consume foods, beverages, tobacco products, or cosmetics in areas
where this material is stored; 2) wash hands and face carefully before eating, drinking, using tobacco,
applying cosmetics or using the toilet.
