Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels.
Powders under 74 microns are flammable.
WORK/HYGIENIC/MAINTENANCE PRACTICES
Implement engineering and work practice controls to reduce and maintain concentration of exposure at low
levels. Use good housekeeping and sanitation practices. Do not use tobacco or food in work area. Wash
thoroughly before eating and smoking. Do not blow dust off clothing or skin with compressed air.
