SECTION 8 – EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION

Occupational Exposure Limits

Occupational Exposure Limits : Threshold Limit Values

Time Weighted Average ( TWA ) = 1900 mg/m

( Hydrocarbon Propellant)

Exposure Standards (TWA) is the time-Weighted average airborne concentration over an eight-hour working day, for

a five day working week over an entire working life. According to current knowledge this concentration should neither

impair the health or, cause undue discomfort to, nearly all workers.

Engineering Control Measures

: Provide sufficient ventilation to keep airborne levels below exposure

limit. Where vapours or mists are generated, particularly in enclosed areas, and natural ventilation is

inadequate a flameproof ventilation system is required

Personal Protective Equipment

Eye:

Safety glasses with side shields

Hands:

Impervious plastic or rubber gloves.

Other:

Not applicable

Respirator:

Use with adequate ventilation.

Always wash hands before eating, drinking, smoking or using the toilet.

Wash contaminated clothing and other protective equipment before storage and reuse.

SECTION 11 – TOXOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Health Effects

No adverse health effects expected if the material is handled in accordance with the Material Safety Data

Sheet. Symptoms that may arise if the material is mishandled are :

Acute Effects

Swallowing:

Ingestion causes burning sensation in mouth and stomach, nausea, vomiting

and salivation. Minute amounts aspirated into the lungs can produce a

severe hemorrhagic pneumonitis with severe pulmonary injury or death.

Eye:

Vapors cause eye irritation. Splashes cause severe irritation, possible

corneal burns and eye damage.

Skin:

Skin contact results in loss of natural oils and often results in a characteristic

dermatitis. May be absorbed through the skin.

Inhaled:

Inhalation of vapours may be irritating to the nose and throat. Inhalation of

high concentrations may result in nausea, vomiting, headache, ringing in the

ears, and severe breathing difficulties which may be delayed in onset.
