Section 8: Exposure Controls / Personal Protection
Engineering Controls

Ventilation required: Local exhaust ventilation, process enclosures or other controls to control sources of dust, mist or vapor.

Personal Protection Equipment

Respiratory protection: None under normal conditions.  Use an OSHA/NIOSH approved air-purifying respirator as needed to control exposure.  Use a positive pressure air supplied respirator for uncontrolled releases or when air-purifying respirator limitations may be exceeded. Follow respiratory protection programs requirements (OSHA 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2) for all respirator use.

Protective gloves: Rubber gloves.
Skin protection: Clean protective body-covering clothing.
Eye protection: Chemical goggles or safety glasses. Use a face shield as needed.
Additional clothing and/or equipment: None.
