Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne 
contaminants.
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
