respective threshold limit value. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are proximal to the work-station
location.
Personal Protection Safety glasses. Lab coat. Gloves (impervious). Respiratory protection is not necessary for normal handling. Good
room ventilation or use of local exhaust (fume hood) is sufficient. Use a vapor respirator under conditions where
exposure to the substance is apparent (e.g. generation of high concentrations of mist or vapor, inadequate
ventilation, development of respiratory tract irritation), and engineering controls are not feasible. Be sure to use an
approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Personal Protection in Case Splash goggles. Full suit. Boots. Gloves. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
