*  Exposure Controls/Personal Protection  *
Respiratory Protection:IF THE WORK STATION IS NOT PROPERLY VENTILATED
    TO EXHAUST ALL FUMES, VAPORS & DUSTS BELOW THE RECOMMENDED EXPOSURE
    LIMITS, USE A NIOSH APPROVED RESPIRATOR.
Ventilation:USE ENOUGH GENERAL VENTILATION & LOCAL EXHAUST AT THE WORK
    SITE TO KEEP ALL FUMES & DUSTS FROM WORKER'S BREATHING ZONE & THE
    GENERAL AREA.
    (TOX INFO)
Other Protective Equipment:ANSI APPRVD EYE WASH & DELUGE SHOWER . WEAR
    HAND,  HEAD & BODY PROT WHICH HELP TO PVNT INJURY FROM RADIA, SPKS
    & ELEC SHOCK. THIS MAY INCL ARM PROTECTOR'S, APRONS, HATS AS WELL
