PRECAUTIONS FOR USE  

EXPOSURE STANDARDS:	A time weighted average (TWA) concentration for an 8 hour day, 5 day week 
		has not been established by Worksafe Australia for any of the ingredients 
		of this product. There is a blanket recommendation of 10 mg/m3 for 
		inspirable dusts or mists when the limits have not otherwise been 
		established. The nature of this product makes it unlikely that this 
		level will be approached in normal use.   

ENGINEERING CONTROLS:	In industrial situations, concentration values below the TWA value 
		should be maintained. Values may be reduced by process modification, 
		use of exhaust ventilation, capturing substances at the source or other 
		methods. If you believe air borne concentrations of mists, dusts or 
		vapours are high, you are advised to modify the process or environment 
		to reduce the problem.  

PERSONAL PROTECTION:	Chemical gloves, safety glasses and standard work clothing should be 
		worn. Wash contaminated clothing before reuse.
