- Apply technical measures to comply with the occupational exposure limits.
Individual protection measures:
Respiratory protection :
- In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment.
- When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use appropriate certified respirators.
- Self-contained breathing apparatus (EN 133)
- Respirator with a dust filter; Recommended Filter type: P2 filter
Hand protection:
- Impervious gloves; Suitable material: PVC, Neoprene, Natural Rubber
