Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment

Engineering Controls

Consider a work permit system e.g. for maintenance activities. Ensure adequate air ventilation. Provide adequate ventilation, including appropriate local extraction, to ensure that the defined occupational exposure limit is not exceeded. Oxygen detectors should be used when asphyxiating gases may be released. Systems under pressure should be regularly checked for leakages. Preferably use permanent leak tight connections (eg. welded pipes). Do not eat, drink or smoke when using the product.

Hand Protection

Wear working gloves while handling containers Guideline: EN 388 Protective gloves against mechanical risks.

Eye Protection

Wear eye protection to EN 166 when using gases. Guideline: EN 166 Personal Eye Protection.

Respiratory Protection

Not required.

Skin/Body Protection

Body protection: No special precautions. Other: Wear safety shoes while handling containers Guideline: ISO 20345 Personal protective equipment - Safety footwear.

Environmental Exposure Controls
