8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
National Exposure
Standards
Use local exhaust if misting occurs. Natural ventilation is adequate in the
absence of mists. Exposure standards for the decomposition products are:
Material TWA STEL
Sodium Hydroxide (dust) 2 ppm, 2 mg/m3 12 hrs peak
limitation
The measures appropriate for a particular worksite depend on how this
material is used and on the extent of exposure. Use this general information
to help develop specific control measures. Ensure that control systems are
properly designed and maintained and comply with occupational,
environmental, fire, and other applicable regulations.
Biological Limit Values No biological limit allocated.
Engineering Controls A system of local and/or general exhaust is recommended to keep employee
exposures as low as possible. Local exhaust ventilation is generally preferred
because it can control the emissions of the contaminant at its source,
preventing dispersion of it into the general work area. Adequate ventilation
should be provided so that exposure limits are not exceeded.
Respiratory Protection If engineering controls are not effective in controlling airborne exposure, then
a half face piece respirator with a replaceable organic vapour filter should be
used. Reference should be made to Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715,
Selection, Use and Maintenance of Respiratory Protective Devices; and
AS/NZS 1716, Respiratory Protective Devices, in order to make any necessary
changes for individual circumstances.
Eye Protection Safety glasses or goggles should be worn as described in Australian Standard
AS/ANZ 1337, Eye Protectors for Industrial Applications.
Hand Protection Butyl, neoprene or nitrile gloves are recommended when using this product.
