Appropriate engineering controls
Engineering measures
Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local exhaust ventilation
and good general extraction.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/Face Protection
Tightly fitting safety goggles.
Skin and Body Protection
Wear suitable protective clothing. Protective shoes or boots.
Hand Protection
Nitrile rubber, Neoprene gloves
Respiratory Protection
In case of inadequate ventilation wear respiratory protection.
Hygiene measures
Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
