ENCLOSURES, LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION OR OTHER ENGINEERING CONTROLS TO KEEP
WORKER EXPOSURE TO AIRBORNE CONTAMINANTS BELOW ANY RECOMMENDED OR STATUTORY
LIMITS.
ENVIRONMENTAL EXPOSURE CONTROLS:
EMISSIONS FROM VENTILATION OR WORK PROCESS EQUIPMENT SHOULD BE CHECKED TO
ENSURE THEY COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
LEGISLATION. IN SOME CASES, FUME SCRUBBERS, FILTERS OR ENGINEERING
MODIFICATIONS TO THE PROCESS EQUIPMENT WILL BE NECESSARY TO REDUCE
EMISSIONS TO ACCEPTABLE LEVELS.
INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION MEASURES:
HYGIENE MEASURES:
WASH HANDS, FOREARMS AND FACE THOROUGHLY AFTER HANDLING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS,
BEFORE EATING, SMOKING AND USING THE LAVATORY AND AT THE END OF THE WORKING
PERIOD. APPROPRIATE TECHNIQUES SHOULD BE USED TO REMOVE POTENTIALLY
CONTAMINATED CLOTHING. WASH CONTAMINATED CLOTHING BEFORE REUSING. ENSURE
THAT EYEWASH STATIONS AND SAFETY SHOWERS ARE CLOSE TO THE WORKSTATION
LOCATION.
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
SAFETY EYEWEAR COMPLYING WITH AN APPROVED STANDARD SHOULD BE USED WHEN A
RISK ASSESSMENT INDICATES THIS IS NECESSARY TO AVOID EXPOSURE TO LIQUID
SPLASHES, MISTS, GASES OR DUSTS. IF CONTACT IS POSSIBLE, THE FOLLOWING
PROTECTION SHOULD BE WORN, UNLESS THE ASSESSMENT INDICATES A HIGHER DEGREE
OF PROTECTION: SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE-SHIELDS.
SKIN PROTECTION:
HAND PROTECTION:
CHEMICAL-RESISTANT, IMPERVIOUS GLOVES COMPLYING WITH AN APPROVED STANDARD
SHOULD BE WORN AT ALL TIMES WHEN HANDLING CHEMICAL PRODUCTS IF A RISK
ASSESSMENT INDICATES THIS IS NECESSARY. CONSIDERING THE PARAMETERS
SPECIFIED BY THE GLOVE MANUFACTURER, CHECK DURING USE THAT THE GLOVES ARE
STILL RETAINING THEIR PROTECTIVE PROPERTIES. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT THE
TIME TO BREAKTHROUGH FOR ANY GLOVE MATERIAL MAY BE DIFFERENT FOR DIFFERENT
GLOVE MANUFACTURERS. IN THE CASE OF MIXTURES, CONSISTING OF SEVERAL
SUBSTANCES, THE PROTECTION TIME OF THE GLOVES CANNOT BE ACCURATELY
ESTIMATED.
BODY PROTECTION:
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT FOR THE BODY SHOULD BE SELECTED BASED ON THE
TASK BEING PERFORMED AND THE RISKS INVOLVED AND SHOULD BE APPROVED BY A
SPECIALIST BEFORE HANDLING THIS PRODUCT.
OTHER SKIN PROTECTION:
APPROPRIATE FOOTWEAR AND ANY ADDITIONAL SKIN PROTECTION MEASURES SHOULD BE
SELECTED BASED ON THE TASK BEING PERFORMED AND THE RISKS INVOLVED AND
SHOULD BE APPROVED BY A SPECIALIST BEFORE HANDLING THIS PRODUCT.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
USE A PROPERLY FITTED, AIR-PURIFYING OR AIR-FED RESPIRATOR COMPLYING WITH
AN APPROVED STANDARD IF A RISK ASSESSMENT INDICATES THIS IS NECESSARY.
RESPIRATOR SELECTION MUST BE BASED ON KNOWN OR ANTICIPATED EXPOSURE LEVELS,
THE HAZARDS OF THE PRODUCT AND THE SAFE WORKING LIMITS OF THE SELECTED
RESPIRATOR.
