Provide eyewash fountains and safety showers in close proximity to points of potential exposure. Store in a tightly closed original container in a cool, dry, and well ventilated area. Protect from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep away from bases. 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION Control Parameters - Exposure Standards (Safe Work Australia) Engineering Controls Iodine: TWA: 0.1ppm Peak limitation /1 mg/m 3 Peak limitation STEL: - ppm / - mg/m 3 Upon decomposition or heating, iodine vapor is released which is highly toxic. Provide exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep the airborne concentrations of dusts below occupational exposure standards. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Respiratory Protection Eye/Face Protection Skin Protection Thermal Hazards If the ventilation is not adequate, wear a suitable dust respirator. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 1715 and 1716 for more information. Safety glasses with top and side shields or goggles. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 1336 and 1337 for more information. Chemical resistant protective gloves, protective clothing, apron and boots. See Australian Standards AS/NZS 2161, 2210.1 and 2210.2 for more information. 9.
