ventilated area away from incompatible materials. Avoid excessive hot or cold temperatures. Keep
containers tightly closed when not in use.
8. Exposure Control Measures, Personal Protection
Personal Protective Equipment:
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION 鈥? Under normal conditions, respiratory protection is not required. If the
exposure limit is exceeded, follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR 1910.134 for the
appropriate level of protection using a NIOSH approved cartridge respirator with the appropriate
cartridge for the constituents.
EYE PROTECTION 鈥? Chemical safety goggles recommended.
PROTECTIVE GLOVES 鈥? Chemically-resistant gloves are recommended.
OTHER PROTECTIVE CLOTHING OR EQUIPMENT 鈥? Eye wash station should be provided if there is a
splash potential.
WORK/HYGIENE PRACTICES 鈥? Wash hands before eating, drinking, or smoking and at the end of the
shift.
Ventilation:
LOCAL EXHAUST 鈥? If handling results in mist or aerosols, local exhaust ventilation may be needed so
that exposure limits are met.
MECHANICAL (GENERAL) 鈥? Provide general ventilation in processing and storage areas so that
exposure limits are met.
