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 />
