Engineering Controls:
Water can be used as a dust suppressant if necessary
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection: Not needed unless dust is created.
For protection against irritation from dust or up to ten times the recommended exposure
limits, use a NIOSH-approved N-95 filtering facepiece or a half mask respirator

respirator) may be substituted.
Skin protection: Sturdy work gloves recommended to protect hands from abrasion.
Eye protection: Safety glasses with side shields recommended if material could
become airborne.
