Additional Information Personal protective equipment guidelines: The recommendation for protective equipment contain within this report is provided as a guide only. Factors such as method of application, working environment, quantity used, product concentration and the availability of engineering controls should be considered before final selection of personal protective equipment is mad. Health effects from exposure: it should be noted that the effects from exposure to this product will depend on several factors including: frequency and duration of use; quantity used; effectiveness of control measures; protective equipment used and method of application. Given that it is impractical to prepare a report which would encompass all possible scenarios, it is anticipated that users will assess the risk and apply control methods where appropriate. Scale for NFPA and HMIS Ratings: 0-least, 1-Slight, 2-Moderate, 3-High, 4-Extreme, PPE- Personal Protective Equipment Index Recommendation, Effect Indicator. These values are obtained using the guidelines or published evaluations prepared by the National Fire Protections Association (NFPA) or the National Paint and Coatings Association (for HMIS ratings).
