Handling and Storage
Safe handling precautions, storage conditions, and workplace requirements
Prevent dust from becoming airborne. In case of inadequate ventilation, wear appropriate respiratory protection. Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product/in work areas. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas and after work.
Minimize dust formation. Avoid dust drifting during loading operations. Keep container(s) closed. Store packaged product(s) in such a way that the packaging does not become damaged.
Do not eat, drink or smoke when using this product/in work areas. Wash hands thoroughly after handling. Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas and after work.
Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
Prevent dust from becoming airborne. Make sure that dust exposure falls within the limits by using closed processes, installing local exhaust systems or implementing other appropriate technical measures.
People who suffer from dermatitis or have particularly sensitive skin should take appropriate protective measures (e.g., wear gloves or use protective cream). Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
Use dust-tight protective goggles in areas exposed to dust.
In case of long-term exposure to dust, wear protective clothing in compliance with applicable EU or national legislation. Use of particle filtering half masks or full-face, class 2 or class 3 filter (FFP2 – FFP3) recommended. See EN 143:2000 Respiratory protective devices - Particle filters.
No particular requirements.
The exhaust air from extraction units must be conducted through filters. Prevent dust from becoming airborne and dust drift caused by wind.
