4 SECTION 8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS AND PERSONAL PROTECTION Exposure control measures From National Occupational Health & Safety Commission (NOHSC) Worksafe Australia - General dust: 10mg/m³ TWA (8hr). Biological monitoring No biological limit allocated. Engineering controls Ensure that adequate ventilation is provided. Maintain air concentrations below recommended exposure standards. Avoid generating and inhaling dust. Keep containers closed when not in use. Individual protection measures Eye and face protection: Skin protection: Respiratory protection: Thermal hazards: Wear safety goggles. Use impervious gloves and footwear such as PVC, complying with AS/NZS 4501 and AS 2161(or equivalent). Use chemical resistant glove/gauntlets, boots and apron. If work practices do not maintain airborne level below the exposure standard, use appropriate respiratory protection equipment. When using respirators, select an appropriate combination of mask and filter. Respirators should comply with AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 (or equivalent)..
