8.2 Exposure Controls
Engineering Controls
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source.
Respiratory Protection
If the exposure limit is exceeded, wear a supplied air, full-facepiece respirator, airlined hood, or full-facepiece self-contained breathing apparatus.
Eye Protection
Safety glasses.
Skin Protection
Wear protective gloves and clean body covering clothing.
