Respiratory Protection:
If irritation is experience or exposure limits are exceeded, respiratory protection should be worn.
NIOSH approved respirators for particulates with a TLV of greater than 0.05 mg/M3 are
generally acceptable. If respirators are used, a respiratory protection program as described in 29
CFR 1910.134 must be established.
Skin Protection:
Wear gloves to prevent unnecessary skin contact. Wear regularly cleaned work clothing. Use
good personal hygiene. Showering and changing into street clothing after work is desirable.
Eye Protection:
Wear safety glasses or chemical goggles to prevent eye contact. Do not wear contact lenses when
working with this substance. Have eye-washing facilities readily available where eye contact can
occur.
