Section 8 - Exposure Controls and Personal Protection

Exposure limits
The product does not contain any hazardous materials with occupational exposure limits established.

Biological limit values

This product, as supplied, does not contain any hazardous materials with biological limits established by the region specific
regulatory bodies

Exposure Controls
Engineering Measures
Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas.

Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or
equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to
control hazardous materials at source

Personal protective equipment

Eye Protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) (Australian/New Zealand Standard
AS/NZS 1337 - Eye protectors for Industrial applications)

Hand Protection Protective gloves

Glove material Breakthrough time Glove thickness AUS/NZ Standard Glove comments
Natural rubber See manufacturers - AS/NZS 2161.1 (minimum requirement)
Nitrile rubber recommendations
Neoprene
PVC
Inspect gloves before use.
Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves.
(Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information)
Ensure gloves are suitable for the task: Chemical compatability, Dexterity, Operational conditions, User susceptibility, e.g.
sensitisation effects, also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger
of cuts, abrasion.
Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination.

Skin and body protection Long sleeved clothing

Repiratory Protection Use an AS/NZS 1716 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or
other symptoms are experienced. To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment
