Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Where it is practical to do so, automatically feed RCF/ASW into the process. Where practical to do so, segregate dry and wet processing. Enclose the process where practically possible. Where practical to do so, segregate machine areas and restrict access to operators involved in the process. Enclose Machines as far as practically possible. Install LEV where possible, when machine finishing, handling, compressing and hand cutting to remove dust at source. Provide vacuum cleaner connection point to central system where practical or use a portable HEPA vacuum. Regular clean up – using a wet scrubbing unit where practically possible and in general a HEPA vacuum should be used. Dry brushing and use of compressed air should be prohibited. Use pre-cut, pre-sized pieces where practically possible. Where practically possible, perform all hand cutting in a segregated area, on a down draft bench. Clean up work area regularly during the shift using a HEPA equipped vacuum cleaner. Prohibit use of dry brushing and compressed air cleaning. Where practically possible enclose or segregate the work area. Pre-wet insulation prior to removal where practically possible. Where practically possible use a water lance for removal or vacuum-truck. Use down draft bench for hand cutting products. Cover pre-cut section during transport and storage to prevent secondary exposure. Where practically possible provide multiple vacuum hoses for convenient cleanup of spillage or use portable HEPA filtered vacuums.
