ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
USE GENERAL OR LOCAL EXHAUST VENTILATION TO CONTROL DUST WITHIN RECOMMENDED
EXPOSURE LIMITS. REFER TO ACGIH PUBLICATION "INDUSTRIAL VENTILATION" OR
SIMILAR PUBLICATIONS FOR DESIGN OF VENTILATION SYSTEMS.
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT:
EYE / FACE PROTECTION: GOGGLES TO PROTECT FROM DUST
SKIN PROTECTION: NO SPECIAL EQUIPMENT IS NEEDED.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
RESPIRATORS FITTED WITH FILTERS CERTIFIED TO STANDARD 42CFR84 UNDER
SERIES N95 SHOULD BE WORN WHEN DUST IS PRESENT. IF THE DUST CONCENTRATION
IS LESS THAN TEN (10) TIMES THE PERMISSIBLE EXPOSURE LIMIT (PEL) USE A
QUARTER OR HALF-MASK RESPIRATOR WITH A N95 DUST FILTER OR A SINGLE USE
DUST MASK RATED N95. IF DUST CONCENTRATION IS GREATER THAN TEN (10) TIMES
AND LESS THAN FIFTY (50) TIMES THE PEL, A FULL-FACE PIECE RESPIRATOR
FITTED WITH REPLACEABLE N95 FILTERS IS RECOMMENDED. IF DUST CONCENTRATION
IS GREATER THAN FIFTY (50) AND LESS THAN TWO HUNDRED (200) TIMES THE PEL
USE A POWER AIR-PURIFYING (POSITIVE PRESSURE) RESPIRATOR WITH A
REPLACEABLE N95 FILTER. IF DUST CONCENTRATION IS GREATER THAN TWO HUNDRED
(200) TIMES THE PEL USE A TYPE C, SUPPLIED AIR RESPIRATOR (CONTINUOUS
FLOW, POSITIVE PRESSURE), WITH FULL FACE PIECE, HOOD OR HELMET.
GENERAL HYGIENE:
AVOID BREATHING DUST. AVOID CONTACT WITH EYES. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING
AND BEFORE EATING OR DRINKING.
