8.3a Personal protective equipment
Protection of hands:
Wear gloves of adequate length to offer appropriate skin protection from splashes. Nitrile, Butyl and
PVC gloves have been found to offer adequate protection for incidental contact. Precautions must
be observed because burns occur with little warning -- little heat is sensed.
Eye protection:
Wear approved eye protection (properly fitted dust- or splash-proof chemical safety glasses.
Respiratory protection:
A NIOSH-approved dust mask or filtering face piece is recommended in poorly ventilated areas or
when permissible exposure limits may be exceeded. Respirators should be selected by and used
under the direction of a trained health and safety professional, following requirements found in
OSHA’s respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and ANSI’s standard for respiratory protection
(Z88.2).
