Exposure Controls / PPE
Occupational exposure limits, engineering controls, and protective equipment
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, use ventilation to keep exposure to airborne particles below the exposure limit.
Protective gloves are not necessary but recommended for those prone to skin irritation or dryness.
Wear safety glasses with side-shields where there is a risk of dust generation which could lead to mechanical irritation of the eye.
In case of prolonged overexposure to airborne dust concentrations, wear respiratory protective equipment that complies with the requirements of national legislation. The use of half or full face masks with filters against particles of category 2 or 3 (FP2 - FP3) is recommended. See EN 143: 2000 - Respiratory protective devices.
No specific requirement. For hands, see below.
Avoid wind dispersal.
