Exposure controls / personal protection
1 Control parameters
· Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace: The product does not contain any relevant quantities of materials with critical values that have to be monitored at the workplace.
2 Exposure controls
Personal protective equipment:
General protective and hygienic measures:
· Do not eat, drink, smoke or sniff while working.
· Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
· Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.·
The usual precautionary measures are to be adhered to when handling chemicals.
Respiratory protection: Not necessary if room is well-ventilated.
Protection of hands: Protective gloves
Only use chemical-protective gloves with CE-labelling of category III.
The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
Material of gloves
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.
