SECTION 7: HANDLING AND STORAGE
Handling Procedures:
Wear impermeable gloves and other protective clothing to avoid prolonged
or repeated skin contact. When handling, wear eye protection.
Storage Requirements:
Keep containers tightly closed when not in use. Store only in containers
resistant to alkaline solutions with a pH of 9.0-12.0.
SECTION 8: EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Exposure Guidelines:
Propylene Glycol: AIHA WEEL is 50 ppm total, 10mg/m3 aerosol only.
10mg.m3 for Propylene Glycol mist, 400ppm for Propylene Glycol vapors.
Ventilation:
Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems.
Administrative Controls
Respiratory Protection:
If personal exposure cannot be controlled below applicable exposure limits
by
ventilation, wear respiratory devices approved by NIOSH/MSHA, for
protection against organic vapors, dust, fumes and mists.
Protective Clothing/
Equipment:
Wear chemically protective gloves, boots, aprons, and gauntlets to prevent
prolonged or repeated skin contact. Wear protective eyeglasses or chemical
safety goggles.
Work and Hygienic Practices:
Wash or rinse hands before touching eyes or contact lenses, and before
eating.
Safety Stations:
Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quick-drench showers, and
washing facilities available in work area.
