cough, skin rash, hives, and irritation of the nose, throat, skin or eye.
Hazard communication training required by sections 5191 or 5194 shall
address these health hazards and symptoms along with the measures taken
by the employer to evaluate and control exposures that can include medical
evaluations, exposure monitoring, ventilation systems, work practices, and
personal protective equipment. The communication system required by section
3203 shall inform employees where to report possible health symptoms and
where to ask questions, report concerns, and receive information about the
employer’s evaluation and control measures.

8.2 Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls

Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of workday.

Personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection
Tightly fitting safety goggles. Faceshield (8-inch minimum). Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under
appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection
Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove’s
outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with
applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.

Publication 2001 Issue 1910 Page 4 of 9

 If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions which differ from EN 374, contact the supplier
of the CE approved gloves. This recommendation is advisory only and must be evaluated by an industrial hygienist and
safety officer familiar with the specific situation of anticipated use by our customers. It should not be construed as offering
an approval for any specific use scenario.

Body Protection
Complete suit protecting against chemicals, The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the
concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace.

Respiratory protection
Where risk assessment shows air-purifying respirators are appropriate use a fullface respirator with multi-purpose
combination (US) or type ABEK (EN 14387) respirator cartridges as a backup to engineering controls. If the respirator is
the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved
under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or CEN (EU).

Control of environmental exposure

Prevent further leakage or spillage if safe to do so. Do not let product enter drains.
Discharge into the environment must be avoided.
