Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk

assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,

gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless

the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: chemical splash goggles.

Eye/face protection

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.

Appropriate engineering

controls

Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or

other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any

recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas,

vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof

ventilation equipment.

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.

Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety

showers are close to the workstation location.
