3. Hazards Identification Overview:
bonded and grounded for transfers to avoid static sparks. Storage and use areas should be No Smoking
areas. Use non-sparking type tools and equipment. Containers of this material may be hazardous when
empty since they retain product residues (vapors, liquid); observe all warnings and precautions listed for
the product.
8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Ventilation System:
A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures below the Airborne Exposure Limits. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred because it
can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source, preventing dispersion of it into the general
work area. Please refer to the ACGIH document, Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended
Practices, most recent edition, for details.
Personal Respirators (NIOSH Approved):
If the exposure limit is exceeded, wear a supplied air, fullface piece respirator, air-lined hood, or full-face piece self-contained breathing apparatus. This substance
has unknown warning properties.
Skin Protection:
Wear protective gloves and clean body-covering clothing.
Eye Protection:
Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible.
Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area.
