8. Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Exposure Standards
- Engineering controls
- Keep container tightly sealed.
- Protect from heat and direct sunlight.
Personal protective equipment
- Eye and face protection
- Tightly sealed goggles.
- Skin protection
- Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.
- Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
- Store protective clothing separately.
- Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.·
- Protection of hands:
- Protective gloves
- The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation.
- .Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/ the chemical mixture.
- Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
- Material of gloves.
- The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. As the product is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
- Penetration time of glove material.
- The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
- Body protection
- Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
- Respiratory protection
- In case of brief exposure or low pollution use respiratory filter device. In case of intensive or longer exposure use self-contained respiratory protective device.
