Exposure controls
Engineering measures:
Ensure there is exhaust ventilation of the area. Respiratory protection:
In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment. If exposure levels are likely to be exceeded, use a full face mask fitted with an organic AXP3 filter for short term low level exposures. For long term or high level exposures, compressed airline breathing apparatus should be used. Hand protection:
Avoid skin contact. For repeated exposure use Viton or 4H chemical gloves for low exposure use nitrile gloves. The user has a legal duty to carry out a COSHH risk assessment to determine the correct glove.
Eye protection:

Skin protection:
Wear protective work clothing sufficient to avoid skin contact. Wash hands regularly, before breaks and at the end of the working day.
