Protect your respiratory system — Use dust respirators approved by NIOSH/MSA whenever exposure may exceed the established standard listed in the current SDS.
Protect your hands — Wear general purpose neoprene gloves.
Protect yourself with proper clothing — Wear ordinary work clothes with long sleeves and full-length pants.
Protect yourself with proper footwear — Wear shoes with neoprene soles.
