Exposure controls / personal protection

1. Technical protection measures
- Provide local ventilation appropriate to the product decomposition risk.
- Refer to protective measures listed below.
- Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits.

2. Organisational protection measures
- Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
- When using do not eat, drink or smoke.
- Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.
- Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.

3. Hand protection
- Neoprene gloves
- Take note of the information given by the producer concerning permeability and break through times, and of special workplace conditions (mechanical strain, duration of contact).

4. Feet protection
- safety shoes

5. Body protection
- Lab coat

6. Eye protection
- Tightly fitting safety goggles
- If splashes are likely to occur, wear: Face-shield

7. Respiratory protection
- Use respirator when performing operations involving potential exposure to vapour of the product.
- The filter class for the respirator must be suitable for the maximum expected contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. If this concentration is exceeded, selfcontained breathing apparatus must be used.
- Remove respiratory and skin/eye protection only after vapours have been cleared from the area.
- Use only respiratory protection that conforms to international/ national standards.
