Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Hand protection
In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
The correct choice of respiratory protection depends upon the chemicals being handled,
the conditions of work and use, and the condition of the respiratory equipment. Safety
procedures should be developed for each intended application. Respiratory protection
equipment should therefore be chosen in consultation with the supplier/manufacturer
and with a full assessment of the working conditions.
Wear protective gloves if prolonged or repeated contact is likely. Wear chemical
resistant gloves. Recommended: Nitrile gloves. The correct choice of protective gloves
depends upon the chemicals being handled, the conditions of work and use, and the
condition of the gloves (even the best chemically resistant glove will break down after
repeated chemical exposures). Most gloves provide only a short time of protection
before they must be discarded and replaced. Because specific work environments and
material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each
intended application. Gloves should therefore be chosen in consultation with the supplier/
manufacturer and with a full assessment of the working conditions.

Body protection
Use of protective clothing is good industrial practice.
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before handling
this product.
Cotton or polyester/cotton overalls will only provide protection against light superficial
contamination that will not soak through to the skin. Overalls should be laundered on a
regular basis. When the risk of skin exposure is high (e.g. when cleaning up spillages or
if there is a risk of splashing) then chemical resistant aprons and/or impervious chemical
suits and boots will be required.
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.

Skin protection
Other skin protection
Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected
based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a
specialist before handling this product.
