Exposure controls / personal protection
1. Technical protection measures
Control parameters:
Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace:
105-60-2 epsilon-caprolactam (dust and vapour):
OES Short-term value: 40 mg/m³
Long-term value: 10 mg/m³
2. Organisational protection measures
Exposure controls
3. Hand protection
Protective gloves
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
Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the
preparation/ the chemical mixture.
Material of gloves
Nitrile rubber, NBR
Recommended thickness of the material: ≥ 0.35 mm
Penetration time of glove material
Value for the permeation: Level ≤ 8 h
The exact break trough time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and
has to be observed.
4. Feet protection
Wear suitable footwear.
5. Body protection
Use protective suit.
6. Eye protection
Tightly sealed goggles
Gauze goggles
7. Respiratory protection
In exceptional cases (e.g. exceeding of the air limiting value) respiratory protection is required.
Use dust protection mask or respiratory protection apparatus with filter P2. Observe further
national regulations concerning respiratory protection.
