ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
Provide adequate ventilation. Eye washes and showers for emergency use.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EYES AND FACE:
Wear chemical splash goggles. Wear a full face shield where splashing is likely.
SKIN:
Wear chemically resistant gloves.
RESPIRATORY:
Use a properly fitted, air-purifying or air-fed respirator complying with an approved standard if a risk
assessment indicates this is necessary. Respirator selection must be based on known or anticipated exposure levels, the
hazards of the product, and the safe working limits of the selected respirator.
PROTECTIVE CLOTHING:
Wear protective clothing appropriate to the risk of exposure.
