Clothing skin protection

Health Hazards Information - Recommended Personal Protective Equipment Individual breathing devices with air supply neoprene gloves protective clothing eye protection Symptoms Following Exposure Inhalation of concentrated gas will cause suffocation. Contact will liquid can damage eyes because of low temperature. Frostbite may result from contact with liquid General Treatment for Exposure INHALATION remove to fresh air use artificial respiration if necessary. EYES get medical attention promptly if liquid has entered eyes.

Skin Protective gloves. Remove contaminated clothes. Rinse and then wash skin with water and soap. 

Benzidine is a known carcinogen and should be handled with extreme caution (Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens NTP 85-002, 1985, p. 37). The solid and its vapors may be rapidly absorbed through skin. Protective clothing and the use of a fume hood are... 

Structural firefighters protective clothing is recommended for fire situations only it is not effective in spill situations or release events. If chemical protective clothing is not available and it is necessary to rescue casualties from a contaminated area, then structural firefighters gear will provide very limited skin protection against nerve agent vapors. Contact with liquids, solids, and solutions should be avoided. 

Level C protection should be selected when the type of airborne substance(s) is known, concentration is measured, criteria for using air-purifying respirators are met, and skin and eye exposure are unlikely. It involves a full face piece, air-purifying, canister-equipped respirator and chemical-resistant clothing. This level of protection provides the same degree of skin protection as Level B, but a lower level of respiratory protection. 

Personal Protective Equipment Phosgene is a severe respiratory tract and skin irritant, and contact with the liquid will cause frostbite. Respiratory protection requires positive-pressure-demand, self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA), while skin protection requires chemical-protective clothing since phosgene gas can cause skin irritation and burns. NIOSH recommends protective suits from Responder (Kappler Co.), Tychem 10000 TM (DuPont Co.) or Teflon (DuPont Co.). 

Skin protection Use protective gloves. Wear protective clothing when possibility exists of contact. 

Care and precantions Handling of carbon disnlfide reqnires proper clothing eye protection and respiratory protection are important nnder trained management. On contact with eyes, immediately flnsh with large amonnts of water for at least 15 minntes, occasionally lifting npper and lower lids. Call for medical attention immediately. On skin contact, qnickly remove contaminated clothing. 

Precautions Ammonia gas is very toxic and poses an explosion hazard, particularly in improper storage conditions. Unprotected industrial workers should avoid all contact with ammonia gas and use of contaminated equipment. Ammonia gas should be stored in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area, out of direct sunlight, away from heat and ignition sources, and away from flammable material. Always use chemical safety goggles, a face shield for skin protection, chemical protective gloves, coveralls, boots, and/or other chemical protective clothing. 

Dosimeters under protective clothing represent those that are worn between normal clothing and protective clothing (e.g. protective coveralls) or under protective clothing but in contact with skin (as in the case of a forearm dosimeter for a worker wearing a short-sleeve shirt and protective coveralls). 

Level D provides standard work protection from splashes and no respiratory and minimal skin protection is required. The gear includes cover clothing, safety glasses, gloves, and face shield. 

Observe normal precautions appropriate to the circumstances and quantity of material handled. Diethyl phthalate is irritant to the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Protective clothing, eye protection, and nitrile gloves are recommended. Diethyl phthalate should be handled in a fume cupboard or a well-ventilated environment a respirator is recommended. In the UK, the long-term (8-hour TWA) exposure limit for diethyl phthalate is 5 mg/m. The short-term (15-minute) exposure limit is lOmg/m. ...
