USA. NIOSH
Appropriate Engineering controls: Emergency eye wash fountains and safety showers should be available in
the immediate vicinity of use or handling. Provide exhaust ventilation or
other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of vapor
and mists below the applicable workplace exposure limits (Occupational
Exposure Limits-OELs) indicated above.
Respiratory protection: Not required under normal conditions of use. Where risk assessment
shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a full-face particle
respirator type N100 (US) or type P3 (EN 143) respirator cartridges as a
backup to engineering controls.When necessary use NIOSH approved
breathing equipment.
Protection of skin: Select glove material impermeable and resistant to the substance.Select
glove material based on rates of diffusion and degradation. Dispose of
contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and
good laboratory practices.Use proper glove removal technique without
touching outer surface. Avoid skin contact with used gloves.Wear
protective clothing.
Eye protection: Wear equipment for eye protection tested and approved under
appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN
166(EU).Safety glasses or goggles are appropriate eye protection.
General hygienic measures: Perform routine housekeeping.Wash hands before breaks and
immediately after handling the product.Avoid contact with skin, eyes, and
clothing.Before rewearing wash contaminated clothing.
