particulate matter; and (b) has the cut point of 4 µm at 50 per cent collection efficiency. [d]The value is for
particulate matter containing no asbestos and < 1 per cent crystalline silica. [e]Respirable dust. [f]Inhalable
fraction [g]Respirable fibers: length greater than 5 uM; aspect ratio equal to or greater than 3:1 as determined by
the membrane filter method at 400-450X magnification (4-mm objective) phase contrast illumination. [h]Fibres
[i]Fibres, total particulate [j]Inhalable [k]Fiber [l]Inhalable fraction: means that size fraction of the airborne
particulate deposited anywhere in the respiratory tract and collected during air sampling with a particle size-
selective device that, (a) meets the ACGIH particle size-selective sampling criteria for airborne particulate matter;
and (b) has the cut point of 100 µm at 50 per cent collection efficiency. [m]Respirable fibres: length >
5µm; aspect ratio ≥3:1, as determined by the membrane filter method at 400-450 times magnification (4-mm
objective), using phase-contrast illumination. [n]RESPIRABLE FIBRES (other than respirable asbestos fibres) :
Objects, other than respirable asbestos fibres, longer than 5 µm, having a diameter of less than 3 µm and a ratio
of length to diameter of more than 3 :1. [o]Total dust. [p]Respirable fraction [q]Total dust
Appropriate engineering controls
No special ventilation requirements. Good general ventilation should be sufficient to
control worker exposure to airborne contaminants. If this product contains ingredients
with exposure limits, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other
engineering controls to keep worker exposure below any recommended or statutory
limits.
Environmental exposure controls
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure
they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some
cases, fume scrubbers, 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.
Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
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.
Skin Protection
Hand protection
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be
worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is
necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check
during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be
noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different
glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the
protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.
Body protection
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.
Eye/face protection
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 contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless
the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: chemical splash goggles.
