frequently repeated contact could occur. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials
include: Butyl rubber. Natural rubber ("latex"). Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or
"NBR"). Polyethylene. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Polyvinyl alcohol ("PVA").
Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular
application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant
workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical
requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions
to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.
Respiratory Protection:
Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed
the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements
or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or
discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process. In misty
atmospheres, use an approved particulate respirator. The following should be effective types of air-
purifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter.
Ingestion:
Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands
before smoking or eating.
Engineering Controls
Ventilation:
Use local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels
below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit
requirements or guidelines, general ventilation should be sufficient for most operations. Local exhaust
ventilation may be necessary for some operations.
