8.2. Exposure Controls
Appropriate Engineering Controls : Ensure all national/local regulations are observed. Proper grounding procedures to
avoid static electricity should be followed. Use explosion-proof equipment. Provide
adequate ventilation to minimize dust concentrations.
Personal Protective Equipment : Dust formation: dust mask. In case of dust production: protective goggles. Gloves.
Protective clothing.
Hand Protection : Impermeable protective gloves.
Eye Protection : In case of dust production: protective goggles.
Skin and Body Protection : Wear suitable protective clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Respiratory Protection : Use NIOSH-approved air-purifying or supplied-air respirator where airborne
concentrations of dust are expected to exceed exposure limits.
Other Information : When using, do not eat, drink or smoke.
