SAFETY DATA SHEET <br />Diesel Fuel <br />Exposure Equipment <br />Respiratory A NIOSH/MSHA-approved air-purifying respirator with organic vapor cartridges or canister may be <br />permissible under certain circumstances where airborne concentrations are or may be expected to exceed <br />exposure limits or for odor or irritation. Protection provided by air-purifying respirators is limited. Refer to <br />OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134, ANSI Z88.2-1992, NIOSH Respirator Decision Logic, and the manufacturer for <br />additional guidance on respiratory protection selection and limitations. <br />Use a positive pressure, air-supplied respirator if there is a potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels <br />are not known, in oxygen-deficient atmospheres, or any other circumstance where an air-purifying respirator <br />may not provide adequate protection. <br />Thermal Product is stored at ambient temperature. No thermal protection is required except for emergency <br />operations involving actual or potential for fire. Use adequate ventilation to keep vapor concentrations of <br />this product below occupational exposure and flammability limits, particularly in confined spaces. <br />9.
