7. HANDLING AND STORAGE PRECAUTIONS FOR SAFE HANDLING

Avoid the formation of mists in the atmosphere. Avoid any direct contact with the product.Handle and use in accordance with good occupational hygiene and safety practice. For further information,refer to section 8 "Exposure Controls / Personal Protection".

CONDITIONS FOR SAFE STORAGETake all necessary precautions to avoid the accidental release of the product outside, due to the rupture ofcontainers or transfer systems.Store in a well ventilated, cool, dry area away from any source of ignition, and away from incompatiblematerials (see Section 10 "Stability and Reactivity").

Incompatible Materials: Keep away from flammables, oxidizing agents, and strong acids.

Packaging: Product must only be kept in the original containers, high density polyethylene drums (HDPE).

8. SURVEILLANCE PROCEDURES AND ENGINEERING CONTROLS

Surveillance procedures: The recommended limits SHOULD NOT be exceeded. The user is responsiblefor monitoring the working environment in accordance with local laws and regulations.

According to current knowledge these concentrations should neither impair the health of, nor cause unduediscomfort to, nearly all workers.

Engineering Controls:Ensure good ventilation of the work station. Provide sufficient ventilation to keep airborne levels below theexposure limits and as low as practicable. Where engineering controls are indicated by use conditions or apotential for excessive exposure exists, the following traditional exposure control techniques may be used toeffectively minimize employee exposures: natural ventilation, exhaust ventilation or wearing air suppliedmask.

Biological Limit Values:No biological limit allocated.

Personal Protection Equipment

7/27/2019 TANDEX 245


GLOVES: Impermeable chemical-resistant protective gloves must be chosen according to the function of thework station: other chemicals which may be handled, physical protection necessary (resistance to cutting,puncture, heat), dexterity required. The selection of gloves must take into account the extent and duration ofuse at the workstation. Final choice of appropriate gloves will vary according to individual circumstances i.e.methods of handling or according to risk assessments undertaken. It is advisable that a local supplier ofpersonal protective clothing is consulted regarding the choice of material. Reference should be made toAS/NZS 2161.1: Occupational protective gloves - Selection, use and maintenance.

EYES: Eye contact should be prevented through use of safety glasses with side shields or splash proofgoggles, and a full-face shield. Final choice of appropriate eye/face protection will vary according toindividual circumstances i.e. methods of handling or engineering controls and according to particular

useintended for this material and risk assessments undertaken. Eye protection should conform

withAustralian/New Zealand Standard AS/NZS 1337 - Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications.

RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: Avoid breathing of vapours/mists. Select and use respirators in accordancewith AS/NZS 1715/1716. If respiratory protection is necessary, use a filtering respiratoryprotective device with a specific gas canister. Filter capacity and respirator type depends on exposure levelsand type of contaminant. If entering spaces where the airborne concentration of a contaminant is unknownthen the use of a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) with positive pressure air supply complying withAS/NZS 1715 / 1716, or any other acceptable International Standard is recommended. Final choice ofappropriate respiratory protection will vary according to individual circumstances i.e. methods of handling oraccording to risk assessments undertaken. For reasonably foreseeable industrial end uses of this material,respiratory protection should not be necessary.

BODY PROTECTION: Wear light overalls, including chemical resistant apron where clothing is likely to becontaminated. Personal protective equipment must be defined after risk assessment for the workstation.Protective equipment must be chosen according to current AS/NZS standards and in cooperation with thesupplier of protective equipment.

Workplace Hygiene Measures:

Use clean and correctly maintained personal protective equipment. After each use, (before re-use) alwaysthoroughly clean personal protective equipment. Keep personal protective equipment in a clean place, awayfrom the work area.Personal hygiene is an important work practice exposure control measure and the following generalmeasures should be taken when working with or handling this material:1. Do not store, use, and / or consume foods, beverages, tobacco products, or cosmetics in areas where thismaterial is stored.2. Wash hands and face carefully after handling this product and before eating, drinking, using tobacco,applying cosmetics, or using the toilet.3. Wash exposed skin promptly to remove accidental splashes or contact with the material.
