Exposure controls / personal protection

Exposure controls :
• Personal protective equipment:
• General protective and hygienic measures:
Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
Avoid contact with the eyes.
• Respiratory protection: Use suitable respiratory protective device in case of insufficient
ventilation.
• Protection of hands: Protective gloves The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant
to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to
the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture.
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.
• Penetration time of glove material
The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be
observed.
• Eye protection: Safety glasses
