8.2. Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering controls Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If
applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure limits. If exposure limits have not
been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
General information Personal protection equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in
discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment.
Eye/face protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles). Face shield is recommended
Skin protection
- Hand protection Wear appropriate chemical resistant gloves.
- Other Wear appropriate chemical resistant clothing. Use of an impervious apron is recommended.
Respiratory protection In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
Thermal hazards Wear appropriate thermal protective clothing, when necessary.
Hygiene measures Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the
material and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and
protective equipment to remove contaminants. Contaminated work clothing should not be
allowed out of the workplace.
Environmental exposure controls Good general ventilation should be used. Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions. If
applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to
