8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION

Airbourne exposure limits:	(ml/m³ = ppm)
MCS^® -2361	No specific occupational exposure limit has been established.
Triphenyl phosphate	ACGIH TLV: 3mg/m³; ; 8 hr. TWA OSHA PEL: 3mg/m³; ;8 hr. TWA Mexican OEL: 3mg/m³; ; 8 hr. TWA Mexican OEL: 6mg/m³; ; 15 min STEL TWA
Eye protection:	Does not cause significant eye irritation or eye toxicity requiring special protection. Use good industrial practice to avoid eye contact.
Hand protection:	Wear chemical resistant gloves. Consult the glove/clothing manufacturer to determine the appropriate type of glove/clothing for a given application.
Body protection:	Wear suitable protective clothing. Wear full protective clothing if exposed to splashes. Consult the glove/clothing manufacturer to determine the appropriate type of glove/clothing for a given application. Wash contaminated skin promptly. Launder contaminated clothing and clean protective equipment before reuse. Wash thoroughly after handling. Have safety shower available at locations where skin contact can occur.
Respiratory protection:	Avoid breathing vapour or mist. Use approved respiratory protection equipment when airborne exposure limits are exceeded. Consult the respirator manufacturer to determine the appropriate type of equipment for a given application. Observe respirator use limitations specified by the manufacturer.
Ventilation:	Provide natural or mechanical ventilation to control exposure levels below airborne exposure limits. If practical, use local mechanical exhaust ventilation at sources of air contamination such as processing equipment.

Components referred to herein may be regulated by specific Canadian provincial legislation. Please refer to exposure limits legislated for the province in which the substance will be used.
