file:///C|/My%20Documents/MSDS--AQUABROM--CHEM-AQUA-.txt
Required Ventilation:
GENERAL VENTILATION IS NORMALLY ADEQUATE. LOCAL VENTILATION IS
RECOMMENDED TO CONTROL EXPOSURE FROM OPERATIONS THAT CAN GENERATE
EXCESSIVE LEVELS OF MISTS. LOCAL VENTILATION IS PREFERRED, BECAUSE IT
PREVENTS DISPERSION INTO WORK AREAS BY CONTROLLING IT AT ITS SOURCE.
Respiratory Protection:
RESPIRATORS SHOULD BE SELECTED BY AND USED UNDER THE DIRECTION OF A
TRAINED HEALTH AND SAFETY PROFESSIONAL FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS FOUND IN
OSHA'S RESPIRATOR STANDARD (29 CFR 1910.134) AND ANSI'S STANDARD FOR
RESPIRATORY PROTECTION (Z88.2-1992). FOR CONCENTRATIONS ABOVE THE TLV AND/
OR PEL BUT LESS THAN 10 TIMES THESE LIMITS, A NIOSH APPROVED HALF-FACEPIECE
RESPIRATOR EQUIPPED WITH APPROPRIATE CHEMICAL CARTRIDGES MAY BE USED.
FOR CONCENTRATIONS GREATER THAN 10 TIMES THE TLV AND/OR PEL, CONSULT THE
NIOSH RESPIRATOR DECISION LOGIC FOUND IN PUBLICATION NO. 87-116 OR ANSI Z88.2-
1992.
Glove Protection:
NEOPRENE OR NITRILE RUBBER GLOVES IF REPEATED OR PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT
IS LIKELY. ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH OSHA'S PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
(PPE) STANDARD FOR HAND PROTECTION, 29 CFR 1910.138.
Eye Protection:
SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS IF THE METHOD OF USE PRESENTS THE
LIKELIHOOD OF EYE CONTACT. ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH OSHA'S PERSONAL
PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE) STANDARD FOR EYE AND FACE PROTECTION, 29 CFR
1910.133.
Other Protection:
