Personal Protective Equipment Eye/face Protection Skin and body protection Respiratory Protection Hygiene Measures Wear appropriate protective eyeglasses or chemical safety goggles as described by OSHA's eye and face protection regulations in 29 CFR or European Standard EN166. Wear appropriate protective gloves and clothing to prevent skin exposure. Follow the OSHA respirator regulations found in 29 CFR or European Standard EN 149. Use a NIOSH/MSHA or European Standard EN 149 approved respirator if exposure limits are exceeded or if irritation or other symptoms are experienced. Handle in accordance with good industrial hygiene and safety practice. 9.
