Exposure controls / personal protection
· Additional information about design of technical facilities: No further data; see item 7.
· Control parameters
· Ingredients with limit values that require monitoring at the workplace: Not required.
· Additional information: The lists valid during the making were used as basis.
· Exposure controls
· Personal protective equipment:
· General protective and hygienic measures: Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed. Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing. Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work. Avoid contact with the eyes. Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.
· Respiratory protection: Not required.
· Protection of hands: The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/ the substance/ the preparation. Due to missing tests no recommendation to the glove material can be given for the product/ the preparation/the chemical mixture. Selection of the glove material on consideration of the penetration times, rates of diffusion and the degradation.
· Material of gloves: The selection of the suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality and varies from manufacturer to manufacturer.
· Penetration time of glove material: The exact break through time has to be found out by the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed.
· Eye protection: Tightly sealed goggles
