UNLESS THE ASSESSMENT INDICATES A HIGHER DEGREE OF PROTECTION:
SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDESHIELDS.
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.
