Recommended monitoring : If this product contains ingredients with exposure limits, personal,
procedures workplace atmosphere or biological monitoring may be required to
determine the effectiveness of the ventilation or other control
measures and/or the necessity to use respiratory protective
equipment. Reference should be made to monitoring standards,
such as the following: European Standard EN 689 (Workplace
atmospheres - Guidance for the assessment of exposure by
inhalation to chemical agents for comparison with limit values and
measurement strategy) European Standard EN 14042 (Workplace
atmospheres - Guide for the application and use of procedures for
the assessment of exposure to chemical and biological agents)
European Standard EN 482 (Workplace atmospheres - General
requirements for the performance of procedures for the
measurement of chemical agents) Reference to national guidance
documents for methods for the determination of hazardous
substances will also be required.
8.2 Exposure controls
Risk management measures
Occupational exposure controls
Technical measures : Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate
dust, fumes, gas, vapour or mist, use process enclosures, local
exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker
exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or
statutory limits.
Personal protection measures
Respiratory protection : Recommended: Dust-protection mask
Hand protection : Recommended: gloves
Eye protection : Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be
used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid
exposure to liquid splashes, mists, gases or dusts. If operating
conditions cause high dust concentrations to be produced, use
dust goggles.
Recommended: safety glasses with side-shields
Skin protection : Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected
based on the task being performed and the risks involved and
should be approved by a specialist before handling this product.

Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling
chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory
and at the end of the working period. Appropriate techniques
should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash
stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.
Environmental exposure controls
Technical measures : Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be
checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of
environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume
scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process
equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable
levels.
