Exposure controls/personal protection 8.1 Control parameters Workplace exposure limits: Not Applicable 8.2 Exposure Controls Eye / Skin Protection Wear protective gloves/eye protection/face protection Respiratory Protection Under normal conditions of use and where adequate ventilation is available to prevent build up of excessive vapour, this material should not require special engineering controls. However, in conditions of high or prolonged use, or high temperature or other conditions which increase exposure, the following engineering controls can be used to minimise exposure to personnel: a) Increase ventilation of the area with local exhaust ventilation. b) Personnel can use an approved, appropriately fitted respirator with organic vapour cartridge or canisters and particulate filters. c) Use closed systems for transferring and processing this material. Also refer to Sections 2 and 7. Section 9.
