Masana Energy Solutions HSS Customer Guide

Conforms to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH), Annex II, as amended by Commission Regulation (EU) 2015/830 SECTION 8: Exposure controls/personal protection Hand protection Use with adequate ventilation. If there is a requirement for the use of a respiratory protective device, but the use of breathing apparatus (independent of ambient atmosphere) is not required, then a suitable filtering device must be worn. The filter class must be suitable for the maximum contaminant concentration (gas/vapour/ aerosol/particulates) that may arise when handling the product. General Information: Because specific work environments and material handling practices vary, safety procedures should be developed for each intended application. The correct choice of protective gloves depends upon the chemicals being handled, and the conditions of work and use. Most gloves provide protection for only a limited time before they must be discarded and replaced (even the best chemically resistant gloves will break down after repeated chemical exposures). Gloves should be chosen in consultation with the supplier / manufacturer and taking account of a full assessment of the working conditions. Wear chemical resistant gloves. Recommended: Nitrile gloves. Hot material: to prevent thermal burns wear heat resistant and impervious gauntlets/gloves. Cold material: Wear chemical resistant gloves. Recommended: nitrile gloves. Do not re-use gloves. Protective gloves will deteriorate over time due to physical and chemical damage. Inspect and replace gloves on a regular basis. Protective gloves must give suitable protection against mechanical risks (i.e. abrasion, blade cut and puncture). The frequency of replacement will depend upon the circumstances of use. Breakthrough time: Breakthrough time data are generated by glove manufacturers under laboratory test conditions and represent how long a glove can be expected to provide effective permeation resistance. It is important when following breakthrough time recommendations that actual workplace conditions are taken into account. Always consult with your glove supplier for up-to-date technical information on breakthrough times for the recommended glove type. Our recommendations on the selection of gloves are as follows: Continuous contact: Gloves with a minimum breakthrough time of 240 minutes, or >480 minutes if suitable gloves can be obtained. If suitable gloves are not available to offer that level of protection, gloves with shorter breakthrough times may be acceptable as long as appropriate glove maintenance and replacement regimes are determined and adhered to. Short-term / splash protection: Recommended breakthrough times as above. It is recognised that for short-term, transient exposures, gloves with shorter breakthrough times Hot material: to prevent thermal burns wear a helmet, full face visor and heat resistant neck flap / apron. Cold material: wear safety glasses with side shields. Eye/face protection Skin protection - When the workplace atmosphere is considered to be immediately dangerous to life and health. - When there is a risk of the workplace atmosphere being oxygen deficient. - When the workplace atmosphere is uncontrolled. - When the workplace atmosphere is unknown. - When there is a risk of loss of consciousness or asphyxiation - When entry into a confined space is required. - When there is a risk of gases being released that could be a fire or explosion hazard. - When the concentration of contaminants in the atmosphere exceeds the level of protection (maximum allowed concentration) given by a filtering device - When the contaminants have a low odour that would not be tasted or smelt by the wearer of a filtering device if the filter became exhausted or saturated. - When there is a risk of hydrogen sulphide exposure limits being exceeded. Combined filter suitable for gases, vapours and particles (dust, smoke, mist, aerosol).
