Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).
Skin and body protection
Wear protective gloves and protective clothing.
Respiratory protection
If exposure limits are exceeded or irritation is experienced, NIOSH/MSHA approved

required for high airborne contaminant concentrations. Respiratory protection must be
provided in accordance with current local regulations.
General Hygiene Considerations
When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Regular cleaning of equipment, work area and
clothing is recommended.
