8.2 Exposure controls

Engineering controls Avoid inhalation. Use in well ventilated areas. Where an inhalation risk exists, mechanical explosion proof
extraction ventilation is recommended. Flammable vapours may accumulate in poorly ventilated or confined
areas. Vapours are heavier than air and may travel some distance to an ignition source and flash back.
Maintain vapour levels below the recommended exposure standard.

RESPIRATORS: In general the use of respirators should be limited and engineering controls
employed to avoid exposure. If respiratory equipment must be worn ensure correct respirator
selection and training is undertaken. Remember that some respirators may be extremely
uncomfortable when used for long periods. The use of air powered or air supplied respirators should
be considered where prolonged or repeated use is necessary.

PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT GUIDELINES:

The recommendation for protective equipment contained within this report is provided as a guide
only. Factors such as form of product, method of application, working environment, quantity used,
product concentration and the availability of engineering controls should be considered before final
selection of personal protective equipment is made.

HEALTH EFFECTS FROM EXPOSURE:

It should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors
including: form of product; frequency and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control
measures; protective equipment used and method of application. Given that it is impractical to
prepare a report which would encompass all possible scenarios, it is anticipated that users will
