Biological limit values
No biological exposure limits noted for the ingredient(s).
Appropriate engineering
controls
Provide sufficient ventilation for operations causing dust formation. Observe occupational
exposure limits and minimize the risk of exposure. Cut and trim with a utility knife or hand saw to
minimize dust levels. If a router is used it must have a dust collection system. Operations such as
power cutting, power kerfing or using compressed air to remove dust are not recommended (2).
See Section 16 for further information.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear approved safety goggles.
