APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
ENGINEERING CONTROLS:
USE APPROPRIATE ENGINEERING CONTROL SUCH AS PROCESS ENCLOSURES, LOCAL
EXHAUST VENTILATION, OR OTHER ENGINEERING CONTROLS TO CONTROL AIRBORNE
LEVELS BELOW RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE LIMITS. GOOD GENERAL VENTILATION
SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO CONTROL AIRBORNE LEVELS. WHERE SUCH SYSTEM SARE
NOT EFFECTIVE WEAR SUITABLE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT, WHICH PERFORMS
SATISFACTORILY AND MEETS OSHA OR OTHER RECOGNIZED STANDARDS. CONSULT WITH
LOCAL PROCEDURES FOR SELECTION, TRAINING, INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE OF
THE PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT.
INDIVIDUAL PROTECTION MEASURES:
EYE/FACE PROTECTION:
WEAR APPROPRIATE PROTECTIVE GLASSES OR SPLASH GOGGLES AS DESCRIBED BY
29 CFR 1910.133, OSHA EYE AND FACE PROTECTION REGULATION, OR THE EUROPEAN
STANDARD EN 166.
SKIN PROTECTION DESCRIPTION:
CHEMICAL-RESISTANT GLOVES AND CHEMICAL GOGGLES, FACE-SHIELD AND SYNTHETIC
APRON OR COVERALLS SHOULD BE USED TO PREVENT CONTACT WITH EYES, SKIN OR
CLOTHING.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION:
A NIOSH APPROVED AIR-PURIFYING RESPIRATOR WITH AN ORGANIC VAPOR CA RTRIDGE
OR CANISTER MAY BE PERMISSIBLE UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES WHERE AIRBORNE
CONCENTRATIONS ARE EXPECTED TO EXCEED EXPOSURE LIMITS. PROTECTION PROVIDED
BY AIR PURIFYING RESPIRATORS IS LIMITED. USE A POSITIVE 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.
OTHER PROTECTIVE:
FACILITIES STORING OR UTILIZING THIS MATERIAL SHOULD BE EQUIPPED WITH AN
EYEWASH FACILITY AND A SAFETY SHOWER.
