Procedures
skin and eye contact. Shovel/sweep up avoiding any dust generation into an
antistatic bag or conductive container. If this material enters the waterways
contact the Environmental Protection Authority, or your local Waste Management
Authority.
7. HANDLING AND STORAGE
Precautions for Safe Avoid generating dust. Use smallest possible amounts in designated areas with
adequate ventilation. Have emergency equipment (for fires, spills, leaks,
Handling
etc.) readily available. Label containers. Keep containers closed when not in

8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
National Exposure No exposure standards have been established for this material by the
Australian National Occupational Health & Safety Commission (NOHSC) or the
Standards
Occupational Safety and Health Service (OSH) of the New Zealand Department of
Labour. However, the exposure standard for dust not otherwise specified is 10
mg/m鲁 (for inspirable dust) and 3 mg/m鲁 (for respirable dust). The limit
applies to both Australia and New Zealand.
Biological Limit No biological limit allocated.
Values
Engineering Controls Use with good general ventilation. If dusts are produced local exhaust
ventilation should be used.
Respiratory Where sufficient ventilation is not available, avoid breathing dust by wearing
an AS 1716 approved P1 or P2 particulate filter respirator. Final choice of
Protection
appropriate breathing protection is dependant upon actual airborne
concentrations and the type of breathing protection required will vary
according to individual circumstances. Expert advice may be required to make
this decision. Reference should be made to Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715,
Selection, Use and maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices; and AS/NZS
1716, Respiratory Protective Devices.
Eye Protection Safety glasses with side shields, goggles or full-face shield as appropriate
recommended. Final choice of appropriate eye/face protection will vary
according to individual circumstances i.e. methods of handling or engineering
