Exposure controls / personal protection

Contains no substances with occupational exposure limit values.

Control measures:

Engineering measures: Facilities and equipment easily cleanable. Avoid splashes. Maintain air concentrations below occupational exposure standards. Assessment of surface contamination and of dermal risk.

Personal protective equipment:

Respiratory protection: In the case of vapour formation use a respirator with an approved filter.

Hand protection: The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it. Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. Also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion, and the contact time. Gloves must be inspected prior to use.

Skin and body protection: Choose body protection according to the amount and concentration of the dangerous substance at the work place.

Eye protection: Goggles.

Hygiene measures: Emergency equipment immediately accessible, with instructions for use. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Use clean, well-maintained personal protection equipment. Store personal protection equipment in a clean location away from the work area. Shower or bathe at the end of working. Regular cleaning of equipment, work area and clothing. When using do not eat, drink or smoke. Keep working clothes separately. Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash hands before breaks and immediately after handling the product. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Protective measures: The protective equipment must be selected in accordance with current CEN standards and in cooperation with the supplier of the protective equipment. Selection of appropriate personal protective equipment should be based on an evaluation of the performance characteristics of the protective equipment relative to the task(s) to be performed, conditions present, duration of use, and the hazards and/or potential risks during use.
