Engineering Controls: When using product, provide local and general exhaust ventilation to
keep airborne dust concentrations below exposure limits.
Personal Protective Equipment:
Eye/Face Protection: Wear approved eye protection (properly fitted dust- or splash-
proof chemical safety goggles) and face protection (face shield).
Hand Protection: Wear suitable gloves.
Skin and 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).
General Hygiene Considerations: Handle according to established industrial hygiene and
safety practices.
