Engineering Control(s) Ventilation Requirements |
Mechanical ventilation (dilution or local exhaust), process or personnel enclosure and control of process conditions must be provided in accordance with all fire codes and regulatory requirements. Supply sufficient replacement air to make up for air removed by exhaust systems. |
| Other | Emergency shower and eyewash must be available and tested in accordance with regulations and be in close proximity. |
|
Protective Equipment |
Eye/face Protection: Chemical goggles, full-face shield, or a full-face respirator is to be worn at all times when product is handled. Contact lenses should not be worn; they may contribute to severe eye injury. |
| Hand Protection |
Impervious gloves of chemically resistant material (rubber or PVC) should be worn at all times. Wash contaminated clothing and dry thoroughly before reuse. |
| Skin and Body Protection |
