Sección 8 – Individual protective measures
Exposure controls and personal protection
- Engineering controls: Provide good ventilation using local exhaust and general extraction. If concentrations cannot be kept below occupational exposure limits, appropriate respiratory protection is required.
Personal protective equipment
- Eye and face protection: Wear safety goggles to protect against solvent splashes.
- Hand protection:
- Use chemical-resistant protective gloves compliant with EN 374.
- Recommended materials for short-term contact (splash protection): nitrile rubber or neoprene.
- Minimum material thickness: > 0.4 mm.
- Breakthrough time: > 480 minutes.
- Check glove suitability for the specific workplace (mechanical resistance, compatibility, antistatic properties) and follow glove manufacturer instructions. Replace damaged or worn gloves immediately.
- Skin and body protection: Wear anti-static protective clothing suitable for potentially explosive atmospheres as required. After contact, thoroughly clean the skin.
- Respiratory protection:
- By spraying: use an air-fed respirator.
- For other operations in well-ventilated areas: air-fed equipment can be replaced by a combination charcoal and particulate filter mask (half mask model with cartridge or air-fed system).
