SECTION VIII: PREVENTATIVE MEASURES
Personal protective equipment: NIOSH approved dust mask recommended. Use approved respirator with dust cartridges if
TLV/PEL鈥檚 are exceeded. Rubber Gloves, safety glasses with shields or goggles are recommended. Ensure eye-was station and
emergency shower are available.
Specific engineering controls: General mechanical sufficient for normal conditions of use. Use local exhaust ventilation, process
enclosure or other engineering controls to maintain dust levels below TLV.
Procedures for leak/spills: Use appropriate safety equipment. Avoid contact with spilled material. Avoid creating dust clouds.
Sweep up or vacuum to collect spilled material. Collect uncontaminated material for repackaging. Collect contaminated material
in approved containers for disposal. Wash spill area thoroughly with water. Collect wash water in approved containers for
disposal. Prevent material from entering storm sewers and public waterways.
Waste disposal: Dispose of in accordance with federal, provincial and local regulations. It is the responsibility of the end-user to
determine if material meets the criteria of hazardous waste at the time of disposal.
Handling procedures and equipment: Avoid eye and skin contact. Wear respiratory protection. Wash thoroughly after
handling. Launder contaminated clothing before reuse.
Storage requirements: Store in a dry area away from incompatibles and ignition sources. Avoid creating dust clouds during use.
