appropriate positive pressure breathing apparatus. Where airfiltering<br />

respirators are suitable, select an appropriate<br />

combination of mask and filter. All respiratory protection<br />

equipment and use must be in accordance with local<br />

regulations.<br />

Hand Protection : Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care.<br />

Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves,<br />

hands should be washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a<br />

non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended. Suitability and<br />

durability of a glove is dependent on usage, e.g. frequency and<br />

duration of contact, chemical resistance of glove material,<br />

glove thickness, dexterity. Always seek advice from glove<br />

suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be replaced. Select<br />

gloves tested to a relevant standard (e.g. Europe EN374, US<br />

F739). When prolonged or frequent repeated contact occurs,<br />

Nitrile gloves may be suitable. (Breakthrough time of > 240<br />

minutes.) For incidental contact/splash protection Neoprene,<br />

PVC gloves may be suitable.<br />

Eye Protection : Chemical splash goggles (chemical monogoggles).<br />

Protective Clothing : Chemical resistant gloves/gauntlets, boots, and apron (where<br />

risk of splashing).<br />

Thermal Hazards : Not applicable.<br />

Monitoring Methods : Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing<br />

zone of workers or in the general workplace may be required to<br />

confirm compliance with an OEL and adequacy of exposure<br />

controls. For some substances biological monitoring may also<br />

Environmental Exposure<br />

Controls<br />

be appropriate.<br />
