Appropriate engineering controls
Showers
Eyewash stations
Ventilation systems
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection
If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved
respiratory protection should be worn. Positive-pressure supplied air respirators
may be required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory
protection must be provided in accordance with current local regulations.
Hand Protection
Wear protective gloves.
Eye/face protection
No special technical protective measures are necessary.
Skin and body protection
Wear suitable protective clothing.
