EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Control
parameters
Components
with workplace control parameters
Exposure
controls
Appropriate
engineering controls Avoid contact with
skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling
the
product.
Personal
protective equipment
Eye/face
protection Face shield and safety glasses
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 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 particle
respirator
type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) 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).
