V. Accidental Release Measures
Steps to be taken in case material is released or spilled:
- Dust or loose fibers can be vacuumed or swept with the aid of a dust suppressant.
- Dispose according to federal, state, and local environmental regulations.
VI. Handling and Storage
- Store material in a clean dry place, and keep container closed.
- Particular care should be taken when working with "used" material to minimize dust.
- If exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation is experienced, NIOSH approved respiratory protection should be worn.
VII. Exposure Controls and Personal Protection
| Engineering Controls |
| Ventilation |
General ventilation and/or local exhaust ventilation should be utilized to maintain exposures below the Threshold Limit Value (TLV). |
| Respiratory Protection |
Use and approved disposable dust respirator designed for nuisance type dusts. |
| Eye Protection |
Safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles must be worn to prevent eye contact. A good safety practice is to have an eyewash station readily available near the work area. |
| Protective Clothing |
Wear rubber gloves when handling this product. Personnel that are more susceptible to irritation from fibers or dusts should wear full-body coveralls. |
| Hygienic Practices |
Use good personal hygiene practices. The use of protective creams before handling the material may prove beneficial. |
