8.2 Exposure controls
Engineering
Measures/Controls

Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to
conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other
engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If
exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory

In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. Follow the OSHA
respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are
exceeded or symptoms are experienced.
Eye/Face

Wear chemical splash safety goggles.
Hands

Wear protective gloves impervious to this material.
Skin/Body

Wear protective clothing impervious to this material.
General Industrial
Hygiene Considerations

Provide readily accessible eye wash stations & safety showers. Handle in accordance with
good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Do not get in eyes or on skin or clothing. Wash
thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, using tobacco or
using the toilet. Destroy contaminated leather articles. Launder or discard contaminated
clothing.
Environmental
Exposure Controls

Follow best practice for site management and disposal of waste. Avoid release to the
environment.
