| Specific end use(s) | Apart from the uses mentioned in section 1.2 no other specific uses are stipulated |
| Eye/face protection | Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU). |
| Skin protection | Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands. |
| Body Protection | Choose body protection in relation to its type, to the concentration and amount of dangerous substances, and to the specific work-place., The type of protective equipment must be selected according to the concentration and amount of the dangerous substance at the specific workplace. |
| Respiratory protection |
Wear gloves selected based on an evaluation of the possible hazards to hands and skin,
the duration of use, the physical conditions of the workplace, and the chemical resistance
and physical properties of the glove material.
|
| Skin and body |
Protective clothing must be selected based on the hazards present in the workplace, the physical environment, the duration of exposure, and other factors. No fabric can provide protection against all potential hazards; therefore it is important to select the appropriate
protective clothing for each specific hazard. At the minimum, wear a laboratory coat and
close-toed footwear
