Appropriate engineering
controls
No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control
worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains ingredients with
exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering
controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or statutory limits.
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.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures
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. Contaminated work
clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before
reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation
location.
Respiratory protection
Use a properly fitted, particulate filter respirator complying with an approved standard if a
risk assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known
or anticipated exposure levels, the hazards of the product and the safe working limits of the
selected respirator.
Skin protection
Hand protection
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be
worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during
use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the
time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove
manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection
time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.
Body protection
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling
this product.
