SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Exposure Guidelines
A: General Product Information
If oil mists are generated, observe the OSHA exposure limit of 5 mg/m3. The following are recommended
exposure limits for hydrogen sulfide: OSHA PEL 8H TWA 10ppm; 14mg/m3, Ceiling 20 ppm and ACGIH
8H TWA 10ppm; 14mg/m3.
B: Component Exposure Limits
No information is available.
Engineering Controls
Use general ventilation and use local exhaust, where possible, in confined or enclosed spaces. If product is
heated above 70 C (155 F) in the presence of water, hydrogen sulfide vapors may be released. Ventilation
should be sufficient to keep hydrogen sulfide levels below recommended exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal Protective Equipment: Eyes/Face
Wear safety glasses. Wear chemical goggles or face shield if splash or mist occurs.
Personal Protective Equipment: Skin
Use impervious gloves for prolonged contact. Wear oil-impervious garments if contact is unavoidable.
Personal Protective Equipment: Respiratory
If mist is generated (heating, spraying) and engineering controls are not sufficient, wear approved organic
vapor respirator suitable for oil mist.
Personal Protective Equipment: General
Use good hygiene when handling petroleum product. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
Excessive misting may cause slippery floors - wear appropriate footwear. Eye wash fountains are
recommended.
