EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Work Place Exposure Limits specify for dust (HSE): Exposure Controls Engineering Measures: TWA 10 mg/m 3 (inhalable) TWA 4 mg/m 3 (respirable) Containment and/or segregation are the most reliable technical protection measures if exposure cannot be eliminated. The extent of these protection measures depends on the actual risks in use. If airborne dust is generated, use local exhaust ventilation controls. Assess exposure and use any additional measures to keep airborne levels below any relevant exposure limit. Where necessary, seek additional occupational hygiene advice. Protective Measures: Respiratory Protection: Hand Protection: Eye Protection: The use of technical measures should always have priority over the use of personal protective equipment When selecting personal protective equipment, seek appropriate professional advice. Personal protective equipment should be certified to appropriate standards No personal respiratory protective equipment normally required. Respiratory protection may still be required under exceptional circumstances when excessive air contamination exists. Chemical resistant gloves are not usually required.
