Exposure Controls
Appropriate Engineering Controls
Work/Hygiene Practices: Utilize methods to minimize dust production. Utilize wet methods, when appropriate, to reduce
generation of dust.
Ventilation: Provide local and general exhaust ventilation sufficient to maintain a dust level below the PEL/TLV.
Personal Protective Equipment
Respiratory Protection
A NIOSH approved particulate respirator is recommended in poorly ventilated areas or if the PEL/TLV is exceeded. OSHA's 29
CFR 1910.134 (Respiratory Protection Standard) must be followed whenever work conditions require respirator use.
Eye Protection
Safety glasses or goggles.
Skin
Gloves, protective clothing and/or barrier creams may be utilized if conditions warrant.
