|
Eng. Controls: |
Special ventilation is not normally required
due to the low volatility of the |
|
|
product at normal temperature. However, in the
operation of certain |
|
|
equipment or at elevated temperatures, mists or
vapours may be generated |
|
|
and exhaust ventilation should be provided to
maintain airborne concentration |
|
|
levels below the exposure standards or where no
exposure standard is |
|
|
allocated, as low as reasonably practicable. |
|
|
|
Personal Protection: |
Use overalls, safety shoes, safety goggles,
rubber or chemical resistance |
|
|
gloves and respirator if required. |
|
|
|
|
|
Manufacturing, |
Avoid skin and eye contact and the inhalation
of vapour. Wear overalls, safety |
Packaging & |
goggles and impervious gloves. Available
information suggests that the gloves |
Transport: |
made from PVC should be suitable for
intermittent contact. However due to |
|
|
variations in glove construction and local
conditions, the final assessment |
|
|
should be made by the user. If inhalation risk
exists, wear organic vapour |
|
|
respirator meeting requirements of AS/NZS 1715
and 1716. Always wash |
|
|
hands with soap and water before smoking,
eating, drinking or using toilet |
|
|
facilities. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Preparations &
use |
Repeated exposure may cause allergic disorders.
Sensitive workers should |
|
of product: |
use protective clothing. Avoid contact with
eyes and skin. Do not inhale mist |
|
or vapours. After each day's use, wash gloves,
safety goggles and all the |
|
|
contaminated clothing. |
