8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Control parameters
Components with workplace control parameters
Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety
practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
Personal protective equipment Eye/face protection Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under
appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin protection Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use.
Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to
avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use
in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry
hands. The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU
Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.
Body Protection Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the
concentration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the specific
work-place., The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the
concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection Respiratory protection is not required. Where protection from
nuisance levels of dusts are desired, use type N95 (US) or type P1 (EN 143) dust
masks. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate
government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
