substances: Ensure good ventilation of the
workplace and wear appropriate protective
equipment, such as respirators able to filter
microscopically small particles.
Observe the relevant guidelines for your material,
staff, application and place of application (e.g.
occupational health and safety regulations,
disposal).
Collect the generated particles at the source, avoid
deposits in the surrounding area.
Use only suitable accessories. In this way, fewer
particles enter the environment in an uncontrolled
manner.
Use a suitable extraction unit.
Reduce dust exposure with the following measures:
- Do not direct the escaping particles and the
exhaust air stream at yourself or nearby persons
or on dust deposits.
- Use an extraction unit and/or air purifiers.
- Ensure good ventilation of the workplace and
keep it clean using a vacuum cleaner. Sweeping
or blowing stirs up dust.
- Vacuum or wash protective clothing. Do not blow,
beat or brush.
