8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
8.1 Control parameters
Components with workplace control parameters
8.2 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
Tightly fitting safety goggles. Faceshield (8-inch minimum). 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.
Splash protection
Material: Nitrile rubber

test method: EN374
If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions
which differ from EN 374,
contact the supplier of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is
advisory only and must
be evaluated by an Industrial Hygienist familiar with the specific situation
of anticipated use by our
customers. It should not be construed as offering an approval for any specific
use scenario.
Body Protection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment
must be selected
according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the
specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a
full-face respirator
with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator
cartridges as a backup
to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection,
use a full-face supplied air
respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under
appropriate government
standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
