Exposure controls / personal protection
This substance is handled under Strictly Controlled Conditions in accordance with REACH regulation Article 18(4) for transported
isolated intermediates. Site documentation to support safe handling arrangements including the selection of engineering,
administrative and personal protective equipment controls in accordance with risk -based management systems is available at each
Manufacturing site.

Manufacturer / Downstream User of the Registrant’s intermediate.
More information on the Risk Management Measures (RMM's) and Operational Conditions (OC's) applied in order to achieve strictly controlled conditions can be found in a separate endpoint in section 13.
8.1 Control parameters
Components with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace
8.2 Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment
*General protective and hygienic measures
The usual precautionary measures should be adhered to general rules for handling chemicals.
Use skin protection cream for preventive skin protection.
Be sure to clean skin thoroughly after work and before breaks.
Take off immediately all contaminated clothing
Wash hands during breaks and at the end of the work.
Store protective clothing separately.
*Breathing equipment:
In case of brief exposure or low pollution use breathing filter apparatus. In case of intensive or longer exposure use
breathing apparatus that is independent of circulating air.
Filter ABEK-P3
*Protection of hands:
Heat protection gloves
Only use chemical-protective gloves with CE-labelling of category III (EN 374).
*Material of gloves
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Butyl rubber, BR
The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies
from manufacturer to manufacturer.
*Penetration time of glove material
The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
*For the permanent contact in work areas without heightened risk of injury (e.g. Laboratory) gloves made of the
following material are suitable:
Nitril rubber
Butyl rubber
*Eye protection:
Tightly sealed safety glasses.
*Body protection:
Protective work clothing.
