8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Respiratory Protection
Not normally required under conditions of use as a portable fire extinguisher. For other applications creating
oxygen deficient atmospheres, use a self contained breathing apparatus, as an air purifying respirator will
not provide protection.
Hand Protection
Wear rubber gloves. Avoid contact with skin.
Eye Protection
Chemical goggles or safety glasses with side shields. Avoid contact with eyes.
Body Protection
Normal work wear.
