Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Use only under a chemical fume hood. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source
🧤 Hand Protection
Protective gloves. Glove material: Butyl rubber, Breakthrough time: 480 minutes, Glove thickness: 0.5 mm, EU standard: EN 374. Neoprene, Breakthrough time: 480 minutes, Glove thickness: 0.5 mm, EU standard: EN 374 (As tested under EN374-3 Determination of Resistance to Permeation by Chemicals). Neoprene, Breakthrough time: < 100 minutes, Glove thickness: 0.45 mm. Inspect gloves before use. Observe instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time from supplier. Ensure gloves are suitable for the task considering chemical compatibility, dexterity, operational conditions, user susceptibility, and local conditions (e.g., cuts, abrasion). Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination.
👁️ Eye Protection
Goggles (European standard - EN 166)
😷 Respiratory Protection
When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct fit and be used and maintained properly. Large scale/emergency use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended Filter type: Type A Organic gases and vapours filter Brown conforming to EN14387. Small scale/Laboratory use: Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149:2001 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended half mask: Valve filtering EN405; or Half mask EN140; plus filter, EN 141. When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conducted.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure.
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
Prevent product from entering drains.
