8.2 Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment:
General protective and hygienic measures:
The usual precautionary measures for handling chemicals should be followed.
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
Breathing equipment:
Exposure Controls: Use appropriate engineering control such as process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation to control
airborne levels below recommended exposure limits.
When ventilation is not sufficient to remove airborne levels from the breathing zone, a NIOSH safety approved respirator or
self-contained breathing apparatus should be worn. Consult with local procedures for selection, training, inspection and
maintenance of the personal protective equipment.
Protection of hands:
Protective gloves
Material of gloves:
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Natural rubber, NR
Penetration time of glove material:
The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
Eye protection:
Safety glasses
Face Shield with Safety Glasses when refilling.
