Exposure Controls & Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and required safety equipment
🏭 Engineering Controls
Minimise airborne dust generation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below specified exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fumes or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne particles below the exposure limit. Apply organisational measures, e.g. by isolating personnel from dusty areas. Remove and wash soiled clothing. Observe any occupational exposure limits for the product or ingredients.
🧤 Hand Protection
Appropriate protection (e.g. gloves, barrier cream) is recommended for workers who suffer from dermatitis or sensitive skin. Wash hands at the end of each work session. It is recommended that gloves are made of the following material: Polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Neoprene. Rubber (natural, latex).
👁️ Eye Protection
Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates eye contact is possible. The following protection should be worn: Chemical splash goggles or face shield. Contact lenses should not be worn when working with this product.
😷 Respiratory Protection
Local ventilation to control airborne dust levels below occupational exposure limits is recommended. In case of exposure, where engineering controls are insufficient, the use of Respiratory Protective Equipment (RPE) is recommended. A risk assessment process must be followed to ensure adequate protection from the airborne dust. The type of RPE must suit the work situation and the specific requirements of the wearer. Other environmental conditions should also be considered. The minimum "Assigned Protection Factor" (APF) required will depend on the measured or predicted occupational exposure levels divided by the OEL detailed in section 8.1. Filters specified as FFP2 and P2 have an APF of 10. Correctly fitted, these would reduce the exposure to the wearer down to one tenth of the working atmosphere. Depending on the assessment of the exposure, a lesser or higher efficiency of filter may be required. The manufacturer's instructions and regulatory guidance regarding duration of use and correct fitting should be followed. The wearer of the selected RPE should receive training before use.
🦺 Skin/Body Protection
For skin, normal work clothes are appropriate.
🌍 Environmental Exposure Controls
All ventilation systems should be filtered before discharge to atmosphere. Avoid releasing into the environment. Contain the spillage.
