8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
EXPOSURE GUIDELINES
CHEMICAL
EXPOSURE LIMIT
Methyl Alcohol (Methanol)
200 ppm TWA OSHA PEL
200 ppm TWA ACGIH TLV skin
250 ppm STEL ACGIH TLV
Ethylene Glycol
25 ppm TWA, 50 ppm STEL ACGIH TLV (as vapor)
10 mg/m
3
TWA ACGIH TLV (as inhalable fraction of the aerosol)
Carbon Dioxide
5,000 ppm TWA OSHA PEL
5,000 ppm TWA ACGIH TLV
30,000 ppm STEL ACGIH TLV
APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Use general ventilation or local exhaust as required to maintain exposures
below the occupational exposure limits.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: For operations where the TLV is exceeded a NIOSH approved supplied air respirator or
positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus is recommended. Organic vapor cartridge respirators are not recommended
for methanol vapor exposures. Equipment selection depends on contaminant type and concentration. Select and use in
accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134 and good industrial hygiene practice. For firefighting, use self-contained breathing
apparatus.
GLOVES: Chemical resistant gloves such as butyl rubber or Viton where contact is possible.
EYE PROTECTION: Splash proof goggles are recommended to prevent eye contact.
OTHER PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT/CLOTHING: Appropriate protective clothing as needed to minimize skin contact.
