PRECAUTIONS FOR USE
————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Exposure Limits:
Potassium hydroxide 2mg/m Peak Limitation. National Occupational Health and Safety Commission. 1991. (NOHSC/ASCC)
Exposure standards is the time weighted average concentration of the work atmosphere over a normal 8 hour work day and a 40
hour work week.
Nearly all workers may be repeatedly exposed to this level, day after day, without adverse effect. All atmospheric contamination
should be kept to as low a level as is practically possible. These exposure standards should not be used as fine lines between safe
and dangerous concentrations.
Peak Limitation:
For some rapidly acting substances and irritants, the averaging of airborne concentration over an eight hour period is inappropriate.
These substances may induce acute effects after relatively brief exposure to high concentrations, so that the exposure standard for
these substances represents the maximum or peak concentration to which workers may be exposed.
Although it is recognised that there are analytical limitations to the measurement of some substances, compliance with these “peak
limitation” exposure standards should be determined over the shortest analytically practicable period of time, but under no
circumstances should a single determination exceed 15 minutes.
Engineering Controls:
No special ventilation required. Avoid generation and inhalation of mists or aerosols.
Personal Protection:
Avoid skin and eye contact. Always wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet.
Always wear : PVC or rubber gloves, goggles or faceshield as appropriate when handling the concentrate.
Flammability:
Non combustible. No particular hazard to the environment.
