Monitoring Methods
Monitoring of the concentration of substances in the breathing zone of workers or in the general
workplace may be required to confirm compliance with an OEL and adequacy of exposure
controls. For some substances biological monitoring may also be appropriate.
Validated exposure measurement methods should be applied by a competent person and
samples analysed by an accredited laboratory.
Examples of sources of recommended exposure measurement methods are given below or
contact the supplier. Further national methods may be available.

Engineering measures : The level of protection and types of controls necessary will
vary depending upon potential exposure conditions. Select
controls based on a risk assessment of local circumstances.
Appropriate measures include:
Adequate ventilation to control airborne concentrations.

Where material is heated, sprayed or mist formed, there is

greater potential for airborne concentrations to be generated.

General Information:
Define procedures for safe handling and maintenance of
controls.
Educate and train workers in the hazards and control
measures relevant to normal activities associated with this
product.
Ensure appropriate selection, testing and maintenance of
equipment used to control exposure, e.g. personal protective
equipment, local exhaust ventilation.
Drain down system prior to equipment break-in or
maintenance.
Retain drain downs in sealed storage pending disposal or
subsequent recycle.
Always observe good personal hygiene measures, such as
washing hands after handling the material and before eating,
drinking, and/or smoking. Routinely wash work clothing and
protective equipment to remove contaminants. Discard
contaminated clothing and footwear that cannot be cleaned.
Practice good housekeeping.

Personal protective equipment

Protective measures
Personal protective equipment (PPE) should meet recommended national standards. Check with
PPE suppliers.

Respiratory protection : No respiratory protection is ordinarily required under normal

conditions of use.
In accordance with good industrial hygiene practices,
precautions should be taken to avoid breathing of material.
If engineering controls do not maintain airborne
concentrations to a level which is adequate to protect worker
health, select respiratory protection equipment suitable for the
specific conditions of use and meeting relevant legislation.
Check with respiratory protective equipment suppliers.
Where air-filtering respirators are suitable, select an
appropriate combination of mask and filter.
Select a filter suitable for the combination of organic gases
and vapours [Type A/Type P boiling point >65°C (149°F)].

Hand protection
Remarks : Where hand contact with the product may occur the use of
gloves approved to relevant standards (e.g. Europe: EN374,
US: F739) made from the following materials may provide
suitable chemical protection. PVC, neoprene or nitrile rubber
gloves Suitability and durability of a glove is dependent on
usage, e.g. frequency and duration of contact, chemical
resistance of glove material, dexterity. Always seek advice
from glove suppliers. Contaminated gloves should be
replaced. Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand
care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using
gloves, hands should be washed and dried thoroughly.

Application of a non-perfumed moisturizer is recommended.

For continuous contact we recommend gloves with

breakthrough time of more than 240 minutes with preference
for > 480 minutes where suitable gloves can be identified. For
short-term/splash protection we recommend the same, but
recognize that suitable gloves offering this level of protection
may not be available and in this case a lower breakthrough
time maybe acceptable so long as appropriate maintenance
and replacement regimes are followed. Glove thickness is not
a good predictor of glove resistance to a chemical as it is
dependent on the exact composition of the glove material.
Glove thickness should be typically greater than 0.35 mm
depending on the glove make and model.

Eye protection : If material is handled such that it could be splashed into eyes,
protective eyewear is recommended.

Skin and body protection : Skin protection is not ordinarily required beyond standard
work clothes.
It is good practice to wear chemical resistant gloves.

Thermal hazards : Not applicable

Environmental exposure controls

General advice : Take appropriate measures to fulfill the requirements of
relevant environmental protection legislation. Avoid
contamination of the environment by following advice given in
Chapter 6. If necessary, prevent undissolved material from
being discharged to waste water. Waste water should be
treated in a municipal or industrial waste water treatment plant
before discharge to surface water.
Local guidelines on emission limits for volatile substances
must be observed for the discharge of exhaust air containing
vapour.
