Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Properly operating chemical fume hood designed for hazardous chemicals and having an average face velocity of at least 100 feet per minute.
🧤 Hand Protection
Impervious gloves made of Butyl rubber (BR). Glove thickness 0.3 mm. Penetration time of glove material 480 minutes. Check protective gloves prior to each use for their proper condition. The selection of suitable gloves depends on material and quality, which varies by manufacturer.
👁️ Eye Protection
Tightly sealed goggles.
😷 Respiratory Protection
Use self-contained respiratory protective device in emergency situations. Recommended filter device for short term use: Use a respirator with multi-purpose combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) as a backup to engineering controls. Risk assessment should be performed to determine if air-purifying respirators are appropriate. Only use equipment tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (USA) or CEN (EU).
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
