8.2. Exposure controls
Protective equipment
Appropriate engineering
Provide adequate general and local exhaust ventilation. Observe any occupational exposure
controls
limits for the product or ingredients.
Eye/face protection
Eyewear complying with an approved standard should be worn if a risk assessment indicates
eye contact is possible. The following protection should be worn: Chemical splash goggles or
face shield.
Hand protection
The most suitable glove should be chosen in consultation with the glove
supplier/manufacturer, who can provide information about the breakthrough time of the glove
material.
Other skin and body
Use barrier creams to prevent skin contact.
Protection
Hygiene measures
Use engineering controls to reduce air contamination to permissible exposure level. Wash
promptly with soap and water if skin becomes contaminated.
Respiratory protection
No specific recommendations. Respiratory protection must be used if the airborne
contamination exceeds the recommended occupational exposure limit.
Thermal hazards
Not anticipated under normal conditions of use. The product is combustible if heated
excessively and an ignition source is applied.
Environmental exposure
Do not allow product to contaminate land.
