8.2. Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls
:
Use ventilation adequate to keep exposures (airborne levels of dust, fume, vapor, etc.) below
recommended exposure limits.
Hand protection
:
Wear suitable waterproof gloves.
Eye protection
:
Wear approved eye protection (properly fitted dust- or splash-proof chemical safety goggles)
and face protection (face shield).
Skin and body protection
:
Wear suitable waterproof protective clothing.
Respiratory protection
:
A NIOSH approved dust mask or filtering facepiece is recommended in poorly ventilated areas
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).
Environmental exposure controls
:
Maintain levels below Community environmental protection thresholds.
Other information
:
Do not eat, smoke or drink where material is handled, processed or stored. Wash hands carefully
