08

Exposure Controls / PPE

Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment

Engineering

Appropriate risk management measures, that must be adopted at the workplace, have to be selected and applied, following the risks assessment carried out by the employer, in connection with his working activity. If the results of this evaluation show that the general and collective prevention measures are not sufficient to reduce the risk, and if you cannot prevent exposure to the mixture by other means, adequate personal protective equipment must be adopted, complying with the relevant technical national/international standards.

Hands

protective gloves

Eyes

Safety glasses

Respiratory

Respiratory protection is not required. Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate, use masks with approved filter. Use only devices approved by the Competent Authorities such as NIOSH (USA) and CEN (EU).

Skin/Body

Protective clothing, rubber gloves.

Environmental

Avoid release to the environment.
