EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control Parameters Monitoring methods BS EN 14042:2003 Title Identifier: Workplace atmospheres. Guide for the application and use of procedures for the assessment of exposure to chemical and biological agents. MDHS14/3 General methods for sampling and gravimetric analysis of respirable and inhalable dust Exposure Controls Engineering Measures Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location. Ensure adequate ventilation, especially in confined areas. Use explosion-proof electrical/ventilating/lighting equipment. 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. ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Page 3 PAGE 4 ALFAA12895 SAFETY DATA SHEET Revision Date 27-Jul-2026Page 4 / 8 Samarium powder ______________________________________________________________________________________________ Personal protective equipment Eye Protection 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.
