5. FIREFIGHTING MEASURES
Exposure guidelines
UK EH40 WEL: Skin designation
Dichlormethane (CAS 75-09-2) Can be absorbed through the skin.
8.2. Exposure controls
Appropriate engineering Provide adequate ventilation. Observe Occupational Exposure Limits and minimise the risk of
controls inhalation of vapours.
Individual protection measures, such as personal protective equipment
General information Personal protective equipment should be chosen according to the CEN standards and in
discussion with the supplier of the personal protective equipment.
Eye/face protection If eye contact is likely, safety glasses with side shields or chemical type goggles should be worn.
Skin protection
- Hand protection Wear protective gloves. Polyvinyl alcohol gloves are recommended. Be aware that the liquid may
penetrate the gloves. Frequent change is advisable. Suitable gloves can be recommended by the
glove supplier.
- Other Normal work clothing (long sleeved shirts and long pants) is recommended.
Respiratory protection In case of inadequate ventilation or risk of inhalation of vapours, use suitable respiratory
equipment with gas filter (type A2). If engineering controls do not maintain airborne concentrations
below recommended exposure limits (where applicable) or to an acceptable level (in countries
where exposure limits have not been established), an approved respirator must be worn.
Thermal hazards Not applicable.
Hygiene measures Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as washing after handling the material
and before eating, drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and protective
equipment to remove contaminants.
Environmental exposure Environmental manager must be informed of all major releases.
