Safety data sheet

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering measures:
Where reasonably practicable this should be achieved by the use of local
exhaust ventilation and good general extraction. Provide appropriate exhaust
ventilation at places where dust is formed.
Control parameters:
None
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
Eye protection:
Safety glasses with side-shields. Goggles.
Skin and body protection:
Impervious clothing.
Respiratory protection:
Respirator must be worn if exposed to dust. Wear respirator with dust filter.
Respiratory protection is needed if any of the exposure limits in Section 2 are
exceeded. Consult an industrial hygiene professional prior to respirator selection
and use. Use a postive-pressure air supplied respirator if there is any potential for
an uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not known, or any other circumstances
where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection.
WARNING: Air purifying respirators do not protect workers in oxygen-deficient
atmospheres.
Hand protection:
Preventive skin protection.
Hygiene measures:
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing.
Exposure limits:
See Section 2.
