|---|---|---|---|---|
| sodium dimethylarsinate | - | 0.05 mg/m³ | - |
- Engineering controls
- Nil
Personal protective equipment
- Eye and face protection
- Goggles recommended during refilling
- Skin protection
- 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
- General protective and hygienic measures:
- Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
- Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
- 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.
