Section 8 – Individual protection measures
The following personal protective equipment and exposure controls are indicated in the safety documentation for Danboline Grey and White. Selection must be based on a site-specific risk assessment.
Engineering controls and hygiene
- Use only with adequate ventilation; apply in dry, well-ventilated conditions.
- Use local exhaust and explosion-proof ventilation where necessary to keep concentrations below occupational exposure limits and lower explosion limits.
- Avoid inhalation of vapours, spray or mist.
- Do not eat, drink or smoke in areas where the product is handled; wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after use.
- Ensure eyewash stations and safety showers are available near the work area.
Respiratory protection
- Where ventilation is insufficient or exposure limits may be exceeded, wear a respirator conforming to EN140 with type A/P2 filter or equivalent.
- For spray application, follow a respiratory protection programme; in confined spaces use air-fed or self-contained breathing apparatus as specified.
Hand protection
- Wear chemical-resistant, impermeable gloves complying with EN374.
- For prolonged or frequently repeated contact: gloves with protection class 6 (breakthrough time > 480 minutes); recommended materials include Viton or nitrile, thickness ≥ 0.38 mm.
- For brief contact: gloves with protection class ≥ 2 (breakthrough time > 30 minutes); recommended nitrile gloves, thickness ≥ 0.12 mm.
- Inspect and replace gloves regularly; performance may be reduced by physical or chemical damage.
Eye and face protection
- Wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields that comply with an approved standard to protect against liquid splashes and mists.
Skin and body protection
- Wear protective clothing covering body, arms and legs; no skin should be left exposed.
- When there is a risk of ignition from static electricity, wear anti-static protective clothing (for example anti-static overalls, boots and gloves) complying with EN 1149.
- Use suitable protective footwear; avoid petroleum-based barrier creams.
Additional safety considerations
- Product and vapour are flammable; keep away from heat, sparks, open flames and all sources of ignition.
- Take precautions against electrostatic discharge when transferring product; ensure proper earthing and bonding.
- Do not use solvents or thinners to clean skin.
- Prevent release to drains, watercourses and soil; dispose of residues and containers according to local regulations.
