Environmental exposure
controls
: Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne
contaminants.
: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, vapor controls, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will
be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures : 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.
Eye/face protection
Skin protection
Hand protection
Body protection
: Safety glasses equipped with side shields are recommended as minimum protection in
industrial settings. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless
the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: Safety glasses with side
shields. Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a
risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,
gases or dusts. If inhalation hazards exist, a full-face respirator may be required
instead.
: Chemical-resistant gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all
times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.
: 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.
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.
Respiratory protection :
Use a properly fitted, particulate filter 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.
