8.3 General protective and hygienic measures
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed. Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated
clothing. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
8.3a Personal protective equipment
Protection of hands and feet:
Wear gloves of adequate length to offer appropriate skin protection from splashes. Nitrile, Butyl and
PVC gloves have been found to offer adequate protection for incidental contact. Wear rubber boots
when stepping in concrete. You cannot rely on pain to alert you to cement burns. Portland cement
can cause dermatitis or sensitization.
Eye protection:
Wear approved eye protection (properly fitted dust- or splash-proof chemical safety glasses.
Respiratory protection:
Wear a NIOSH approved respirator (mask) such as N95 in poorly ventilated areas, when used for
extended periods, when use is frequent, or when permissible exposure limits may be exceeded.
Respirators should be selected by and used under the direction of a trained health and safety
professional, following requirements found in OSHA’s respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and
ANSI’s standard for respiratory protection (Z88.2).
