Respiratory: A NIOSH/MSHA approved air purifying respirator with a type N100 particulate filter may be used
under conditions where airborne concentrations are expected to exceed exposure limits (see below). Protection
provided by air-purifying respirators is limited (see manufacturer's respirator selection guide). Use a positive
pressure air supplied respirator if there is potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or
any other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection. A respiratory
protection program that meets OSHA's 29 CFR1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2 requirements must be followed
whenever workplace conditions warrant a respirator's use.
Other: Eye wash and quick-drench shower facilities should be available in the work area. Thoroughly clean
shoes and wash contaminated clothing before reuse. It is recommended that impervious clothing be worn.
