Respiratory protection : Use respiratory protection unless adequate local exhaust
ventilation is provided or exposure assessment demonstrates
that exposures are within recommended exposure guidelines.
The filter class for the respirator must be suitable for the max-
imum expected contaminant concentration
(gas/vapour/aerosol/particulates) that may arise when han-
dling the product. If this concentration is exceeded, self-
contained breathing apparatus must be used.

Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an ap-

proved standard should be worn at all times when handling
chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is nec-
essary.

Eye protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should

be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary.

Skin and body protection : Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concen-
tration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the spe-
cific work-place.
