1,2-dibromethane (106-93-4) TWA; GB EH40 2005-04-06:
0.5 ppm 3.9 mg/m^3
Sk: Can be absorbed through skin. The assigned substances are those for which there are concerns that dermal absorption
will lead to systemic toxicity.
Carc: Capable of causing cancer and/or heritable genetic damage. The identified substances include those which: - are assigned the risk phrases 'R45: May cause cancer'; 'R46: may cause heritable genetic damage'; 'R49: May cause cancer by inhalation' or - a substance or process listed in Schedule 1 of COSHH.
2: Where no specific short-term exposure limit is listed, a figure three times the long-term exposure should be used
ENGINEERING MEASURES
Engineering measures: Adequate general ventilation is recommended when handling to control airborne levels.
Use local ventilation to keep levels below established threshold values.
Do not use in areas without adequate ventilation.
Use mechanical ventilation for general area control
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Eye protection: Safety goggles
Hand protection: Viton (R) Gloves
Skin and body protection: For personal hygiene purposes, use adequate clothing to prevent skin contact.
To protect against splashes from pouring:
Apron
Boots of Viton (R) Butyl rubber
Respiratory protection: Respirator with a vapour filter (EN 141)
Self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 133)
Hygiene measures: Wash thoroughly after handling.
Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace.
