SECTION 8: Exposure controls and personal protection
Control parameters

Tetraethyl silicate
Long-term exposure limit (8-hour TWA): 10 ppm 85 mg/m³
Exposure controls
Protective equipment
Appropriate engineering
controls
Provide adequate ventilation. Personal, workplace environment or biological monitoring may
be required to determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control measures and/or
the necessity to use respiratory protective equipment. Use process enclosures, local exhaust
ventilation or other engineering controls as the primary means to minimise worker exposure.
Personal protective equipment should only be used if worker exposure cannot be controlled
adequately by the engineering control measures. Ensure control measures are regularly
inspected and maintained. Ensure operatives are trained to minimise exposure.
Eye/face protection Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates
eye contact is possible. Personal protective equipment for eye and face protection should
comply with Australia/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1337. Wear tight-fitting, chemical
splash goggles or face shield. If inhalation hazards exist, a full-face respirator may be required
instead.
Hand protection Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn if
a risk assessment indicates skin contact is possible. The most suitable glove should be
chosen in consultation with the glove supplier/manufacturer, who can provide information
about the breakthrough time of the glove material. To protect hands from chemicals, gloves
should comply with Australia/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 2161. Considering the data
specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are retaining their
protective properties and change them as soon as any deterioration is detected. Frequent
changes are recommended.
Other skin and body
protection
Appropriate footwear and additional protective clothing complying with an approved standard
should be worn if a risk assessment indicates skin contamination is possible.
Hygiene measures Provide eyewash station and safety shower. Contaminated work clothing should not be
allowed out of the workplace. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Clean equipment
and the work area every day. Good personal hygiene procedures should be implemented.
Wash at the end of each work shift and before eating, smoking and using the toilet. When
using do not eat, drink or smoke. Preventive industrial medical examinations should be carried
out. Warn cleaning personnel of any hazardous properties of the product.
