Section 8 – Individual protection measures

Exposure control and hygiene

• Use only with adequate ventilation and, where necessary, local exhaust ventilation or process enclosures to keep exposure below applicable limits.
• Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling, before eating, drinking or smoking, and at the end of the work period.
• Remove contaminated clothing and protective equipment before entering eating areas and wash contaminated clothing before reuse.

Eye and face protection

• Wear chemical splash goggles or equivalent eye protection complying with an approved standard when there is a risk of splashes, mists or vapours reaching the eyes.

Hand protection

• Wear chemical-resistant, impervious gloves that comply with an approved standard whenever handling the product.
• For prolonged or frequently repeated contact, gloves with protection class 6 (breakthrough time greater than 480 minutes according to EN374) are recommended; suggested materials include Viton or nitrile with a thickness of at least 0.38 mm.
• For brief contact, gloves with protection class 2 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 30 minutes according to EN374) are recommended; suggested material nitrile with a thickness of at least 0.12 mm.
• Replace gloves regularly and immediately if damaged.

Skin and body protection

• Wear suitable protective clothing selected according to the task and associated risks.
• Where there is a risk of ignition from static electricity, wear anti-static protective clothing, including overalls, boots and gloves that comply with EN 1149 requirements.

Respiratory protection

• When engineering controls are insufficient to maintain exposure below occupational limits, select and use an appropriate respirator according to a formal respiratory protection program, ensuring correct fit and training.

Environmental exposure controls

• Emissions from ventilation or process equipment should be checked and, where necessary, reduced using fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to comply with environmental legislation.
