Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection

Hand protection

In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.

Entry into a confined space or poorly ventilated area contaminated with vapor, mist

or fume is extremely hazardous without the correct respiratory protective equipment

and a safe system of work.

The correct choice of respiratory protection depends upon the chemicals being

handled, the conditions of work and use, and the condition of the respiratory

equipment. Safety procedures should be developed for each intended application.

Respiratory protection equipment should therefore be chosen in consultation with the

supplier/manufacturer and with a full assessment of the working conditions.

Wear protective gloves if prolonged or repeated contact is likely. Wear chemical

resistant gloves. The correct choice of protective gloves depends upon the

chemicals being handled, the conditions of work and use, and the condition of the

gloves (even the best chemically resistant glove will break down after repeated

chemical exposures). Most gloves provide only a short time of protection before they

must be discarded and replaced. Because specific work environments and material

handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each intended

application. Gloves should therefore be chosen in consultation with the

supplier/manufacturer and with a full assessment of the working conditions.

Recommended: safety glasses with side-shields

Respiratory protection

Skin protection

Use of protective clothing is good industrial practice. Cotton or polyester/cotton

overalls will only provide protection against light superficial contamination that will not

soak through to the skin. Overalls should be laundered on a regular basis. When

the risk of skin exposure is high (e.g. when cleaning up spillages or if there is a risk

of splashing) then chemical resistant aprons and/or impervious chemical suits and

boots will be required. Personal protective equipment for the body should be

selected based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be

approved by a specialist before handling this product.

Environmental exposure

controls

Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure

they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some

cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment

will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Appropriate engineering

controls

All activities involving chemicals should be assessed for their risks to health, to

ensure exposures are adequately controlled. Personal protective equipment should

only be considered after other forms of control measures (e.g. engineering controls)

have been suitably evaluated. Personal protective equipment should conform to

appropriate standards, be suitable for use, be kept in good condition and properly

maintained.

Your supplier of personal protective equipment should be consulted for advice on

selection and appropriate standards. For further information contact your national

organisation for standards.

Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the relevant

airborne concentrations below their respective occupational exposure limits.

The final choice of protective equipment will depend upon a risk assessment. It is

important to ensure that all items of personal protective equipment are compatible.

Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before

eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.

Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.

Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and

safety showers are close to the workstation location.
