Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment

๐Ÿญ Engineering Controls

Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of use/handling.Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor and mists below the applicable workplace exposure limits (Occupational Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated above.

๐Ÿงค Hand Protection

Select glove material impermeable and resistant to the substance.Select glove material based on rates of diffusion and degradation.Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices.Use proper glove removal technique without touching outer surface. Avoid skin contact with used gloves.

๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Eye Protection

Safety glasses with side shields or goggles.Wear equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

๐Ÿ˜ท Respiratory Protection

Not required under normal conditions of use. 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.When necessary use NIOSH approved breathing equipment.

๐Ÿฆบ Skin/Body Protection

Wear protective clothing.
