Appropriate engineering controls

General industrial hygiene practice.

Personal protective equipment

Eye/face protection

Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such

as

NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection

Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique

(without

touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves

after

use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.
