Respiratory protection: A properly fitted NIOSH/MSHA approved disposable dust respirator such as the 3M
model 8210 ( or 8710) or model 9900 ( in high humidity environments) or equivalent should be used
when high dust levels are encountered; the level of glass fibers in the air exceeds the OSHA permissible limits ;
or if irritation occurs, Use respiratory protection in accordance with your company’s respiratory protection program,
local regulations and OSHA regulations under 29 CFR 1910.134.

Skin protection:
Loose fitting long sleeved shirt that covers to the base of the neck, long pants and gloves, skin irritation is known
to occur chiefly at pressure points such as around neck, wrist , waist and between fingers.
Work and hygienic practices:
Handle using good industrial hygiene and safety practices. Avoid unnecessary contact with dusts and fibers by
using good local exhaust ventilation. Remove material from the skin and eyes after contact. Remove material

from clothing using vacuum equipment (never use compressed air and always wash work clothes separately from
other clothing. Wipe out the washer or sink to prevent loose glass fibers from getting on other clothing ) keep
the work area clean of dusts and fibers made during fabrication by using vacuum equipment to clean up dusts
and fibers ( avoid sweeping or using compressed air as these techniques re-suspend dusts and fibers into the
air.) have access to safety showers and eye wash stations.
