lll PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
Exposure Standards:
A time weighted average (TWA) concentration for an 8 hour day, and 5 day week has not been established by Worksafe Australia for any of the major ingredients in this product. There is a blanket limit of 10mg/m3 for dusts or mists when limits have not otherwise been established. The nature of this product makes it unlikely that this level will be approached in normal use.
Engineering Controls:
In industrial situations, concentration values below the TWA value should be maintained. Values may be reduced by process modification, use of local exhaust ventilation, capturing substances at the source, or other methods. If you believe air borne concentrations of mists, dusts or vapours are high, you are advised to modify the process or environment to reduce the problem.
Personal Protection:
Respiratory Protection: It is usually safe to not use a dust mask or
respirator protection on account of this product. However, if the product is
being used in dusty or confined conditions, use of a mask or respirator may be
preferred. For help in selecting suitable equipment, consult AS/NZS 1715.
Protective Gloves: Protective gloves are not normally necessary when
using this product. However, it is always prudent to wear gloves. For help in
selecting suitable equipment, consult AS 2161.
Eye Protection: Protective eyewear is not normally necessary when using
this product. However, it is always prudent to use protective eyewear. Consult
AS1336 and AS/NZS 1337 for advice on Industrial Eye Protection.
Clothing: This product is essentially safe to use without special
protective clothing. However, its use is recommended as a good industrial
practice. Consult AS2919 for advice on Industrial Clothing.
