🏭 Engineering Controls
Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Observe any occupational exposure limits for the product or ingredients. Provide eyewash station and safety shower.
🧤 Hand Protection
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates skin contact is possible. The most suitable glove should be chosen in consultation with the glove supplier/manufacturer, who can provide information about the breakthrough time of the glove material. Gloves made from the following material may provide suitable chemical protection: Nitrile rubber. To protect hands from chemicals, gloves should comply with European Standard EN374.
👁️ Eye Protection
Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates eye contact is possible. Unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection is required, the following protection should be worn: Dust-resistant, chemical splash goggles. Personal protective equipment for eye and face protection should comply with European Standard EN166.
😷 Respiratory Protection
If ventilation is inadequate, suitable respiratory protection must be worn. Protection against nuisance dust must be used when the airborne concentration exceeds 10 mg/m3. Particulate filter, type P2. EN 136/140/141/145/143/149
