Wear gloves to prevent metal cuts and skinabrasions during handling.8.7 EYE PROTECTIONWear safety glasses, goggles, face shield or welder’s helmet when risk of eye injury is present, particularlyduring melting, casting, machining, grinding, welding, powder handling, etc.8.8 HOUSEKEEPINGUse vacuum and wet cleaning methods for particulate removal from surfaces. Be certain to de-energizeelectrical systems, as necessary, before beginning wet cleaning. Use vacuum cleaners with high efficiencyparticulate air (HEPA). Do not use compressed air, brooms, or conventional vacuum cleaners to removeparticulate from surfaces as this activity can result in elevated exposures to airborne particulate. Follow themanufacturer’s instructions when performing maintenance on HEPA filtered vacuums used to clean hazardousmaterials.8.9 MAINTENANCEDuring repair or maintenance activities the potential exists for exposures to particulate in excess of theoccupational standards. Under these circumstances, protecting workers can require the use of specific workpractices or procedures involving the combined use of ventilation, wet and vacuum cleaning methods,respiratory protection, decontamination, special protective clothing, and when necessary, restricted workzones.8.10 WELDINGLocal exhaust or general ventilating systems must be provided and arranged to keep the amount of toxic fumes,gases, or dusts below the maximum allowable concentration for the constituents listed in Section 3.8.11 EXPOSURE CHARACTERIZATIONDetermine exposure to airborne particulate by air sampling in the employee breathing zone, work area, anddepartment. Utilize an Industrial Hygienist or other qualified professional to specify the frequency and type ofair sampling. Develop and utilize a sampling strategy which identifies the extent of exposure variation andprovides statistical confidence in the results. Conduct an exposure risk assessment of processes to determine ifconditions or situations exist which dictate the need for additional controls or improved work practices.

The ACGIH recommends standards for all listed substances. The ACGIHdefines a threshold limit value (standard) as follows: “Threshold Limit Values refer to airborne concentrationsof substances and represent conditions under which it is believed that nearly all workers may be repeatedlyexposed day after day without adverse health effects. Because of wide variation in individual susceptibility,however, a small percentage of workers may experience discomfort from some substances at concentrations ator below the threshold limit; a smaller percentage may be affected more seriously by aggravation of a preexistingcondition or by development of an occupational illness.” “Individuals may also be hypersusceptible orotherwise unusually responsive to some industrial chemicals because of genetic factors, age, personal habits(smoking, alcohol, or other drugs), medication, or previous exposures. Such workers may not be adequatelyprotected from adverse health effects from certain chemicals at concentrations at or below the thresholdlimits.”ACGIH = American Conference of Governmental Industrial HygienistsOSHA = Occupational Safety and Health AdministrationPEL = Eight-Hour Average Permissible Exposure Limit (OSHA)CEILING = Not To Be Exceeded Except for Peak Limit (OSHA)PEAK = 30-Minute Maximum Duration Concentration Above Ceiling Limit (OSHA)TLV = Eight-Hour Average Threshold Limit Value (ACGIH)TLV-STEL = 15-Minute Short Term Exposure Limit (ACGIH)CAS = Chemical Abstract ServiceNIOSH = National Institute for Occupational Safety and HealthRTECS = Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical SubstancesN/A = Not ApplicableFollowing good industrial hygiene practice, which includes reducing airborne exposures to the lowest feasiblelevel for all constituents in this product, is recommended.9.
