The level of protection and types of controls necessary will vary
depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select controls
based on a risk assessment of local circumstances.
Appropriate measures include: Use sealed systems as far as
possible. Adequate explosion-proof ventilation to control
airborne concentrations below the exposure guidelines/limits.
Local exhaust ventilation is recommended. Exhaust emission
systems should be designed in accordance with local
conditions; the air should always be moved away from the
source of vapour generation and the person working at this
point. Firewater monitors and deluge systems are
recommended. Always observe good personal hygiene
measures, such as washing hands after handling the material
and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash
work clothing and protective equipment to remove
contaminants. Discard contaminated clothing and footwear that
cannot be cleaned. Practice good housekeeping. Define
procedures for safe handling and maintenance of controls.
Educate and train workers in the hazards and control
measures relevant to normal activities associated with this
product. Ensure appropriate selection, testing and
maintenance of equipment used to control exposure, e.g.
personal protective equipment, local exhaust ventilation. Drain
down system prior to equipment break-in or maintenance.
