Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Adequate ventilation should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded. Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
🧤 Hand Protection
Chemical resistant gloves
👁️ Eye Protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) and a face shield.
😷 Respiratory Protection
In case of inadequate ventilation use suitable respirator.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear suitable protective clothing and gloves.
