<br /> minimize this hazard, bonding and grounding may be necessary but may not, by themselves, be sufficient Review all
<br /> operations, which have the potential of generating an accumulation of electrostatic charge and/or a flammable
<br /> atmosphere (Including tank and container filling, splash filling, tank cleaning, sampling,gauging, switch loading,filtering,
<br /> mixing, agitation, and vacuum truck operations) and use appropriate mitigating procedures For more information, refer to
<br /> OSHA Standard 29 CFR 1910 106, 'Flammable and Combustible Liquids', National Fire Protection Association (NFPA
<br /> 77), 'Recommended Practice on Static Electricity, and/or the American Petroleum Institute(API) Recommended Practice
<br /> 2003, 'Protection Against Ignitions Ansing Out of Static, Lightning, and Stray Currents'
<br /> General Storage Information DO NOT USE OR STORE near heat, sparks or open flames USE AND STORE ONLY
<br /> IN WELL VENTILATED AREA Keep container closed when not In use Container is not designed to contain pressure
<br /> Do not use pressure to empty container or It may rupture with explosive force Empty containers retain product residue
<br /> (solid, liquid, and/or vapor) and can be dangerous Do not pressurize, cut, weld, braze, solder,drill, grind, or expose
<br /> such containers to heat,flame, sparks, static electricity, or other sources of ignition They may explode and cause injury
<br /> or death Empty containers should be completely drained, properly closed, and promptly returned to a drum
<br /> reconditioner, or disposed of properly

<br /> SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLSIPERSONAL PROTECTION
<br /> GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
<br /> Consider the potential hazards of this matenal (see Section 3), applicable exposure limits,lob activities, and other
<br /> substances in the work place when designing engineering controls and selecting personal protective equipment If
<br /> engineering controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent exposure to harmful levels of this material, the
<br /> personal protective equipment listed below is recommended The user should read and understand all Instructions and
<br /> limitations supplied with the equipment since protection Is usually provided for a limited time or under certain
<br /> circumstances
<br /> ENGINEERING CONTROLS
<br /> Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to control airborne levels below the
<br /> recommended exposure limits
<br /> PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
<br /> Eye/Face Protection Wear eye protection such as safety glasses, chemical goggles,or faceshields If engineering
<br /> controls or work practices are not adequate to prevent eye contact
<br /> Skin Protection Wear Impervious protective clothing to prevent skin contact Selection of protective clothing may
<br /> Include gloves, apron, boots, and complete facial protection depending on operations conducted Users should
<br /> determine acceptable performance characteristics of protective clothing Consider physical requirements and other
<br /> substances present when selecting protective clothing Suggested materials for protective gloves include Polyvinyl
<br /> Alcohol (PVA)(Note PVA deteriorates in water Avoid contact with water), or Silver Shield, or Vlton
<br /> Respiratory Protection If exposure Is anticipated to be greater than applicable exposure limits, wear a NIOSH
<br /> approved respirator that provides adequate protection from measured concentrations of this material, such as Supplied-
<br /> Air Respirator,or Air-Purifying Respirator for Organic Vapors, or Self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)for use In
<br /> environments with unknown concentrations or emergency situations
<br /> Use a positive pressure, air-supplying respirator if there is potential for uncontrolled release, exposure levels are not
<br /> known, or other circumstances where air-purifying respirators may not provide adequate protection
