Wear suitable waterproof protective clothing.
A NIOSH approved dust mask or filtering facepiece is recommended in poorly ventilated areas or
when permissible exposure limits may be exceeded. Respirators should be selected by and used
under the direction of a trained health and safety professional following requirements found in
OSHA’s respirator standard (29 CFR 1910.134) and ANSI’s standard for respiratory protection
(Z88.2).
Do not eat, smoke or drink where material is handled, processed or stored. Wash hands carefully
before eating or smoking. Handle according to established industrial hygiene and safety
practices.
