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 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 Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure Respiratory Protection No protective equipment is needed under normal use conditions. 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 Small scale/Laboratory use Maintain adequate ventilation Hygiene Measures Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice.
