EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION. Exposure Stds Ingredient Reference TWA STEL Nitrogen ASCC (AUS) Asphyxiant Biological Limits Engineering Controls PPE No biological limit allocated. Avoid inhalation. Use in well ventilated areas. Where an inhalation risk exists, mechanical extraction ventilation is recommended. Wear safety boots, leather gloves and safety glasses. Where an inhalation risk exists, wear: self Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) or an Air-line respirator.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION. Engineering controls: If current ventilation practices are not adequate to maintain airborne concentrations below the established exposure limits (see Section 2), additional engineering controls may be required. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Respiratory: The use of respiratory protection is advised when concentrations are expected to exceed the established exposure limits (see Section 2). Depending on the airborne concentration, use a respirator with appropriate cartridges (NIOSH certified) or supplied-air equipment.
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION. Local Exhaust Ventilation: Use sufficient local exhaust ventilation to reduce the level of respirable crystalline silica to below the OSHA PEL. See ACGIH “Industrial Ventilation, A Manual of Recommended Practice” (latest edition).
EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION. Control Parameters: No value assigned for this specific material by Safe Work Australia. Appropriate engineering controls: Use in well ventilated areas. Keep containers closed when not in use. Individual protection measures, such as Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): The selection of PPE is dependent on a detailed risk assessment. The risk assessment should consider the work situation, the physical form of the chemical, the handling methods, and environmental factors. OVERALLS, SAFETY SHOES, CHEMICAL GOGGLES, GLOVES. Wear overalls, chemical goggles and impervious gloves. Always wash hands before smoking, eating, drinking or using the toilet. Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage or re-use. If determined by a risk assessment an inhalation risk exists, wear a suitable mist respirator meeting the requirements of AS/NZS 1715 and AS/NZS 1716.
