Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Appropriate measures should be adopted (filters in the exhaust outlets) to avoid the emission of dust particles to the environment.

Hands

In cases of sensitization, the use of suitable gloves will be used to protect the hands from contact with the flour.

Eyes

We recommend the use of suitable protective glasses (EN 166 - 4 - F or EN 166 - 5 - F) for the emptying of bags and in all those handling operations of the product that could increase their point concentration in the environment.

Respiratory

It is recommended the use of suitable respiratory protection equipment (filtering masks against particles) for the emptying of bags and in all those handling operations of the product that could increase their point concentration in the environment.

Skin/Body

It is not necessary, unless there is a history of hypersensitivity in the manipulator. In cases of sensitization, the use of suitable gloves will be used to protect the hands from contact with the flour. Special attention will be paid to cleaning the skin during and after work.

Environmental

Appropriate measures should be adopted (filters in the exhaust outlets) to avoid the emission of dust particles to the environment.
