8.2 Exposure controls
Engineering
Measures/Controls
•
Local and mechanical exhaust recommended. Adequate ventilation systems as needed to
control concentrations of airborne contaminants below applicable threshold limit values.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory
•
For limited exposure use a NIOSH approved dust mask. For prolonged exposure use an air-
purifying respirator with high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. Follow the OSHA
respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 or European Standard EN 149. Use a
NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are
exceeded or symptoms are experienced.
Eye/Face
•
Wear face shield and chemical safety goggles.
Skin/Body
•
Wear long sleeves and/or protective coveralls. Wear protective gloves impervious to this
material.
General Industrial
Hygiene Considerations
•
Wash thoroughly with soap and water after handling and before eating, drinking, using
tobacco or going to the bathroom.
Environmental
Exposure Controls
•
Follow best practice for site management and disposal of waste.
