VIII. SPECIAL PROTECTION INFORMATION <br /> Respiratory Protection --- Not applicable in slurry form. Wear a suitable dust mask if lime <br /> dust is present above the TLV limit. <br /> Ventilation --- Not applicable unless dust is present above TLV. Because some acetylene <br /> gas may be present in fresh carbide lime (see Section IV.), never enter a confined space <br /> without proper authorization and do so only in accordance with local, state and federal <br /> regulations. <br /> Protective Gloves --- Waterproof rubber gloves must be worn when handling carbide lime. <br /> Protective Clothing --- Wear waterproof protective clothing when in danger of close contact <br /> with lime slurry. Immediately launder all clothing contaminated with lime. Rubber boots <br /> should be worn when in danger standing in lime slurry. Boots and shoes that have been <br /> soaked with lime should be discarded. <br /> Eve Protection --- Safety glasses and/or chemical type goggles MUST be worn whenever <br /> handling carbide lime slurry. Select in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133. <br /> IX. SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS <br /> When handling carbide lime slurry, store only in open-topped water tight tanks suitable for <br /> lime slurry. Do not use worn out or underrated hose, pipe or equipment that might develop <br /> leaks. <br /> Carbide lime is a caustic slurry or paste. Handle it with care and respect. Fresh carbide lime <br /> generation may contain some entrapped flammable acetylene gas. Store and use with <br /> adequate ventilation at all times. <br /> The information expressed herein is compiled from Material Safety Data Sheets and <br /> other information provided in good faith by the industrial gas industry, the lime <br /> production industry, the Department of Labor (Occupational Safety and Health <br /> Administration) and other sources.
