Exposure Controls
Appropriate engineering controls:
- Handle following good industrial hygiene and safety practices.
- Wash hands before breaks and at the end of the workday.
Personal protective equipment
Eye and Face Protection:
- Face shield and safety glasses.
- Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).
Skin Protection:
- Handle with gloves.
- Gloves must be inspected before use.
- Use proper glove removal technique (without touching the glove’s outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product.
- Dispose of contaminated gloves after use following applicable laws and good laboratory practices.
- Wash and dry hands.
Body Protection: Complete suit protecting against chemicals, the type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.
Respiratory Protection: Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face respirator with multipurpose combination (US), or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls.
If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).
Control of Environmental Exposure:
- Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so.
- Do not let the product enter drains.
At any detectable concentration: Any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.
Any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode or other positive-pressure mode with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode.
Escape – any air-purifying, full-facepiece respirator with a high-efficiency particulate filler.
Any appropriate escape-type, self-contained breathing apparatus.
Firefighting and Other Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health Conditions
Use any self-contained breathing apparatus with a full facepiece respirator and a high-efficiency particulate filter.
Use any supplied-air respirator with a full facepiece operated in a pressure-demand or other positive-pressure mode or other positive-pressure modes with an auxiliary self-contained breathing apparatus operated in pressure-demand or other positive-pressure modes.
