Oxygen <br /> Depletion [Asphyxiant]. <br /> Appropriate engineering Good general ventilation should be sufficient to control worker exposure to airborne <br /> controls contaminants. <br /> Environmental exposure Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure <br /> controls they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some <br /> cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment <br /> will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels. <br /> Individual protection measures <br /> Hygiene measures Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before <br /> eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period. <br /> Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. <br /> Wash contaminated clothing before reusing.

Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check <br /> during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be <br /> noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different <br /> glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the <br /> protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated. <br /> Body protection Personal protective equipment for the body should be selected based on the task being <br /> performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a specialist before <br /> handling this product. <br /> Other skin protection Appropriate footwear and any additional skin protection measures should be selected <br /> based on the task being performed and the risks involved and should be approved by a <br /> specialist before handling this product. <br /> Date of issue/Date of revision :112712021 Date of previous issue :412312018 Version :1.02 4110 <br />
