Use closed processing systems or containment technologies.
If handled in a laboratory, use a properly designed biosafetycabinet, fume hood, or other containment device if the potential exists for aerosolization. If this potential does not exist,
handle over lined trays or benchtops.

Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection: If adequate local exhaust ventilation is not available or exposure assessment demonstrates exposures outside the recommended guidelines, use respiratory protection.

Remarks
Eye protection::

Skin and body protection:

Consider double gloving.
Wear safety glasses with side shields or goggles.
If the work environment or activity involves dusty conditions,mists or aerosols, wear the appropriate goggles.
Wear a faceshield or other full face protection if there is apotential for direct contact to the face with dusts, mists, oraerosols.
Work uniform or laboratory coat.
Additional body garments should be used based upon thetask being performed (e.g., sleevelets, apron, gauntlets, disposable suits) to avoid exposed skin surfaces.
Use appropriate degowning techniques to remove potentiallycontaminated clothing.
