Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment

๐Ÿญ Engineering Controls

Properly operating chemical fume hood designed for hazardous chemicals and having an average face velocity of at least 100 feet per minute.

๐Ÿงค Hand Protection

Impervious gloves made of Butyl rubber (BR). Glove thickness 0.3 mm. Penetration time of glove material (in minutes) 480. 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.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Eye Protection

Tightly sealed goggles. Full face protection.

๐Ÿ˜ท Respiratory Protection

Use suitable respirator when high concentrations are present. 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).

๐Ÿฆบ Skin/Body Protection

Protective work clothing.
