Engineering measures
Technical measures and appropriate working operations should be given priority over the use of
personal protective equipment.
See section 7.1.
Individual protection measures

Protective clothing needs to be selected specifically for the workplace, depending on
concentrations and quantities of the hazardous substances handled. The chemical resistance of
the protective equipment should be enquired at the respective supplier.
Eye/face protection
Tightly fitting safety goggles
Hand protection
