Exposure controls / personal protection

Appropriate engineering controls:

Ensure good ventilation of the work station. Emergency safety showers should be available in the immediate vicinity of any potential exposure.

Emergency eye wash fountains should be available in the immediate vicinity of any potential exposure. Handle in accordance with good industrial

hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and after work.

Materials for protective clothing:

Impervious clothing. The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at

the specific workplace.

Hand protection:

Manipulate with gloves. Gloves have to be controlled before the use. Use a technique of withdrawal of gloves suited to avoid that the skin contacts

the product (i.e. without touching the outside surface of the glove). Throw gloves contaminated after the use according to the current laws and to the

good practices of laboratory. Wash and dry hands. The selected gloves have to satisfy the specifications of the EU Directive 89 / 686 / EEC and in

the standard IN 374 which derives from it.
