8.2. Exposure controls
Protective equipment
General information: Protective engineering solutions should be implemented and in use before personal protective equipment is considered.
Appropriate engineering controls: Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas to keep below nuisance dust limit of 15 mg/m3
Eye / face protection: Use chemical splash-type goggles / safety glasses. Have eye wash station available in immediate vicinity.
Hand protection: For hand protection, wear approved impermeable gloves. Thoroughly rinse the outside of gloves with water prior to removal. Inspect regularly for leaks.
Other skin and body protection: For body protection wear impervious clothing such as an approved splash protective suit, protective apron. Have emergency shower in immediate vicinity. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse. Handle in accordance with good hygiene and safety practices
Hygiene measures: Avoid breathing vapors, mist or gas. Clean water should be available for washing in case of eye or skin contamination.
Respiratory protection: If concentrations in excess of 10 ppm are expected, use NIOSH/DHHS approved self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) or other approved air-supplied respirator (ASR) equipment (e.g., a full-face airline respirator (ALR)).
Environmental exposure controls: Eye bathing equipment should be available on the premises. Provide quick drench showers and washing facilities accessible to areas of use and handling.
