Section 8 – Exposure controls and personal protection

Control parameters e.g. Maximum Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL)
permissible exposure limit and in terms of respirable crystalline silica:-
biological limit values WEL/OES HSE (UK) : 0.3mg/m3 TWA
ACGIH (USA) : 0.05mg/m3 TWA
MAC- MSZW (Netherlands) : 0.075mg/m3 TWA
Due to variation in PEL, users are advised to refer to the relevant PEL
adopted in the countries concerned.

PEL is expressed as a Time-Weighted Average (TWA) concentration of that

Appropriate engineering controls
Individual protection measures,
such as personal protective
equipment
product over an 8-hour working shift.
Note: The typical respirable crystalline silica (RCS) for fresh bleaching earth
of ≤ 1%, is compliable for respirable fraction < 5 µm.
Maintain air concentration below PEL, using engineering controls if
necessary.
Use only in well-ventilated area.
Eye/face protection
Wear safety glasses with side shields.
Eye wash bottles should be provided at places where accidental exposure
may be possible.
Contact lenses should not be worn.

Skin protection
Normal work wears.
Wear PVC or rubber gloves.
No further skin protection is required unless there is a possibility of
prolonged personal contact, and then appropriate
protective skin cover is recommended.

Respiratory protection
NIOSH/DOSH approved respirators should be used if the PEL cannot be met
even after instituting engineering controls.

Thermal hazards
Not Applicable.
