6.3 Exposure control and personal protection
Engineering Controls
Use exhaust ventilation to maintain dust levels below the safe exposure limits in workspaces with poor
ventilation and dusty conditions.
Personal Protection
Respiratory Protection
Under normal conditions no respiratory protection is required. Should a respirator be required a
NIOSH approved respirator is recommended.
Eye Protection
Use tight fitting goggles/glasses in dusty environment to prevent dust contact with the eyes. Contact
lenses are not recommended.
Skin Protection
Use impervious, abrasion and alkali-resistant gloves, shoes and protective clothing to prevent skin
contact. Barrier creams could also be used. After working with the product workers should shower
with soap and water.
