Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
PERSONAL PROTECTION
EYES Chemical splash goggles and face shield.
HANDS Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if risk
assessmentindicatesthisisnecessary.Consideringtheparametersspecied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di󰀨erentfordi󰀨erentglove
manufacturers.Inthecaseofmixtures,consistingofseveralsubstances,theprotectiontimeoftheglovescannotbeaccuratelyestimated.
