HANDS/FEET
Suitability and durability of glove type is dependent on usage. Factors such a:
- frequency and duration of contact,
- chemical resistance of glove material,
Wear chemical protective gloves, eg. PVC.
NOTE: The material may produce skin sensitisation in predisposed individuals. Care must be taken, when removing gloves and other
protective equipment, to avoid all possible skin contact.
OTHER
- Overalls.
- P.V.C. apron.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be required in specific
circumstances.
