- Section 8 - Engineer Controls & Personal Protection
- Engineering Controls:
- Ventilation: Provide general or local exhaust ventilation systems to maintain
airborne concentrations below OSHA PELs (Sec. 2). Local exhaust ventilation is
preferred because it prevents contaminant dispersion into the work area by
controlling it at its source.
- Administrative Controls:
- Respiratory Protection: Seek professional advice prior to respirator
selection and use. Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR 1910.134) and, if
necessary, wear a MSHA/HIOSH-approved respirator. Select respirator based on its
suitability to provide adequate worker protection for given working conditions,
level of airborne contamination, and presence of sufficient oxygen. For
emergency or non-routine operations (cleaning spills, reactor vessels, or
storage tanks), wear an SCBA. Warning! Air-purifying respirators do not protect
workers in oxygen-deficient atmospheres. If respirators are used, OSHA requires
a written respiratory protection program that includes at least: medical
certification, training, fit-testing, periodic environmental monitoring,
maintenance, inspection, cleaning, and convenient, sanitary storage areas.
- Protective Clothing/Equipment: Wear chemically protective gloves, boots,
aprons, and gauntlets to prevent prolonged or repeated skin contact. Wear
protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles, per OSHA eye and face
protection regulations (29 CFR 1910.133). Contact lenses are not protective
devices. Appropriate eye protection must be worn instead of, or in conjunction
with contact lenses.
- Safety Stations: Make emergency eyewash stations, safety/quiock-drench
showers, and washing facilities available in work area.
- Contaminated Equipment: Separate contaminated work clothes from street
clothes. Launder before reuse. Remove this material from your shoes and clean
personal protective equipment.
- Comments: Never eat, drink, or smoke in work areas. Practice good personal
hygiene after using this material, especially before eating, drinking, smoking,
using the toilet, or applying cosmetics.
-
- Section 9 - Special Precautions and Comments
- Handling Precautions: When handling be sure drum is tightly sealed and the
bungs are tight. Wear chemical gloves and eye protection when using.
- Storage Requirements: Keep in a cool dry place away from heat and flame. Do
not store with acids or cyanides close by. Keep container closed.
