8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Engineering Control Measures
Use with adequate ventilation. There should be local procedures for the selection, training, inspection
and maintenance of this equipment. When used in large volumes or odor becomes apparent, use local
exhaust ventilation.
Respiratory Protection
Not normally required under conditions of use as a portable fire extinguisher. For other applications
creating oxygen deficient atmospheres, use a self contained breathing apparatus, as an air purifying
respirator will not provide protection.
Hand Protection
Wear rubber gloves. Avoid contact with skin.
Eye Protection
Chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Avoid contact with eyes.
Body Protection
Normal work wear.
