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. To avoid any damage to the packaging, make sure it is handled with care. For instructions on safe handling, contact the supplier of the product.
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.
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. If activities of persons lead to dust, vapours or mist formation, it must be ensured that the dust concentration in the air of working zones remains within the limit values.
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, use of particle filtering masks, class 2 or class 3 filter (FFP2-FFP3) recommended. See EN 143:2000 Respiratory protective devices - Particle filters.
No particular requirements.
Prevent dust from becoming airborne and dust drift caused by wind.
