Exposure controls / personal protection

- Engineering measures: Good general ventilation (typically 10 air changes per hour) should be used.  Ventilation rates should be matched to conditions.  If applicable, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventila-tion, or other engineering controls to maintain airborne levels below recommended exposure lim-its.  If exposure limits have not been established, maintain airborne levels to an acceptable level.

- Personal protective equipment:

 > Eye protection: Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles).

 > Hand protection: Wear suitable gloves.

 > Respiratory protection: Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust ventilation is provided or exposure assessment demon-strates that exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines.

 > Protective measures: Ensure that eye flushing systems and safety showers are located close to the working place.
