Ventilation: Provide general or local ex haust ventilation s ystem s to m aintain airborne concentrations below OSHA lim its (Sec. 2). Local ex haust ventilation is pref erred because it prevents contam inant dispers ion into the work area by c ontrolling it at the source.
8 Respiratory Protection: Follow OSHA respirator regulations (29 CFR ) and, if neces sar y, wear a MSHA/NIOSH-approved respirator. Select respirator based on its suitabilit y to provide adequate work er protection f or given work ing conditions , level of airborne c ontam ination, and pres ence of suff icient ox ygen. For em ergenc y or non-routine operations (cleaning spills, reactor vessels, or storage tank s), wear a SCBA. W arning! Air-purify ing respirators do not protect workers in oxy gen-deficient atmos pheres.
9 Protective Clothing / W ear protective gloves, boots, and clothing when necessary to prevent Equipment: excessive skin contact. W ear protective eyeglasses or goggles, per OSHA eye- and f ace-protection regulations (29 CFR ). Safety Stations: Make emergenc y eyewash stations, showers, and washing f acilities available in the work area. Contaminated Equipment: Remove this material f rom personal protective equipment as needed. Comments: Do not eat, drink, or s moke i n work areas. Practice good personal hygiene af ter using this material, especially bef ore f ood or beverage consumption.
