MDHS14/3 General methods for sampling and gravimetric analysis of respirable and inhalable dust Exposure Controls Engineering Measures Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Wherever possible, engineering control measures such as the isolation or enclosure of the process, the introduction of process or equipment changes to minimise release or contact, and the use of properly designed ventilation systems, should be adopted to control hazardous materials at source. Personal protective equipment Eye Protection Wear safety glasses with side shields (or goggles) Goggles (European standard - EN 166) Hand Protection Protective gloves Glove material Breakthrough time Glove thickness EU standard Glove comments Natural rubber See manufacturers - EN 374 (minimum requirement) Nitrile rubber recommendations Neoprene PVC Inspect gloves before use. Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves. (Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information) Ensure gloves are suitable for the task: Chemical compatability, Dexterity, Operational conditions, User susceptibility, e.g. sensitisation effects, also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger of cuts, abrasion. Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination. Skin and body protection Long sleeved clothing Respiratory Protection When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators. To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct fit and be used and maintained properly Large scale/emergency use Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 136 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced Recommended Filter type: Particulates filter conforming to EN 143 Small scale/Laboratory use Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149:2001 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Recommended half mask:- Particle filtering: EN149:2001 When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conducted Hygiene Measures Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. Environmental exposure controls Prevent product from entering drains. Do not allow material to contaminate ground water system.
