Engineering measures : The level of protection and types of controls necessary will
vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select
controls based on a risk assessment of local circumstances.
Appropriate measures include:
Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations.
General Information:
Define procedures for safe handling and maintenance of
controls.
Educate and train workers in the hazards and control
measures relevant to normal activities associated with this
product.
Ensure appropriate selection, testing and maintenance of
equipment used to control exposure, e.g. personal protective
equipment, local exhaust ventilation.
Drain down system prior to equipment break-in or
maintenance.
Retain drain downs in sealed storage pending disposal or
subsequent recycle.
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as
washing hands after handling the material and before eating,
drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and
protective equipment to remove contaminants. Discard
contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned.
Practice good housekeeping.

Hand protection
Remarks : Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of
gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,
US: F739) made from the following materials may provide
suitable chemical protection. PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber
gloves Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on
usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical
resistance of glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice
from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be
replaced. Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand
care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using
gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly.
Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended.
Eye protection : If material is handled such that it could be splashed into eyes,
protective eyewear is recommended.
Skin and body protection : Skin protection is not ordinarily required beyond standard
work clothes.
It is good practice to wear chemical resistant gloves.
