|=========================================================================|
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: General industrial ventilation usually adequate.
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: If exposure levels are unknown, if levels exceed
TLV/PEL, or if effects occur, use NIOSH-approved dust/mist respirator in
accordance with applicable health and safety regulations and manufacturer's
recommendations.
SKIN PROTECTION: Clean clothing to cover skin. Rubber or synthetic gloves.
EYE PROTECTION: Safety glasses with side shields. Goggles.
