recommendations EN 374
Skin and body protection Long sleeved clothing

Inspect gloves before use.

Please observe the instructions regarding permeability and breakthrough time which are provided by the supplier of the gloves.
(Refer to manufacturer/supplier for information)
Ensure gloves are suitable for the task: Chemical compatability, Dexterity, Operational conditions, User susceptibility, e.g.
sensitisation effects, also take into consideration the specific local conditions under which the product is used, such as the danger
of cuts, abrasion.
Remove gloves with care avoiding skin contamination.

Respiratory Protection When workers are facing concentrations above the exposure limit they must use
appropriate certified respirators.
To protect the wearer, respiratory protective equipment must be the correct fit and be used
and maintained properly

Large scale/emergency use In case of insufficient ventilation wear suitable respiratory equipment

Small scale/Laboratory use Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149:2001 approved respirator if exposure
limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced.
When RPE is used a face piece Fit Test should be conducted
