Section 8. Exposure controls/personal protection
Based on the hazard and potential for exposure, select a respirator that meets the 
appropriate standard or certification. Respirators must be used according to a 
respiratory protection program to ensure proper fitting, training, and other important 
aspects of use.
Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be 
worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is 
necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check 
during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be 
noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different 
glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the 
protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.
Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk 
assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists, 
gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless 
the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: chemical splash goggles.
Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being 
performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before 
handling this product.
Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure 
they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some 
cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment 
will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.
Appropriate engineering 
controls
Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or 
other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any 
recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas, 
vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof 
ventilation equipment.
Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before 
eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. 
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. 
Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety 
showers are close to the workstation location.
Individual protection measures
Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected 
based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a 
specialist before handling this product.
