SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Appropriate engineering controls
Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. Wash hands before breaks and immediately
after handling the product.
Personal protective equipment
Eye/face protection
Face shield and safety glasses Use equipment for eye protection tested and
approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN
166(EU).Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove
removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product.
Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory
practices. Wash and dry hands.
Body Protection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must
be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance
at the specific workplace.
Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a fullface
particle respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as
a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is the sole means of protection,
use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and
approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
