Exposure controls
Use in a well-ventilated area
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can
be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically
"adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The design of a
ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use.
Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.
General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions. Local exhaust ventilation may be required in specific circumstances. If risk of
overexposure exists, wear approved respirator. Correct fit is essential to obtain adequate protection. Provide adequate ventilation in warehouse
or closed storage areas. Air contaminants generated in the workplace possess varying "escape" velocities which, in turn, determine the "capture
Appropriate engineering velocities" of fresh circulating air required to effectively remove the contaminant.
controls Type of Contaminant: Air Speed:
0.25-0.5 m/s
solvent, vapours, degreasing etc., evaporating from tank (in still air).
(50-100 f/min)
aerosols, fumes from pouring operations, intermittent container filling, low speed conveyer transfers, welding, spray 0.5-1 m/s (100-200
drift, plating acid fumes, pickling (released at low velocity into zone of active generation) f/min.)
direct spray, spray painting in shallow booths, drum filling, conveyer loading, crusher dusts, gas discharge (active 1-2.5 m/s (200-500
generation into zone of rapid air motion) f/min.)
grinding, abrasive blasting, tumbling, high speed wheel generated dusts (released at high initial velocity into zone of 2.5-10 m/s
very high rapid air motion). (500-2000 f/min.)
Within each range the appropriate value depends on:
Continued...
Lower end of the range Upper end of the range

1: Room air currents minimal or favourable to capture 1: Disturbing room air currents
2: Contaminants of low toxicity or of nuisance value only. 2: Contaminants of high toxicity
3: Intermittent, low production. 3: High production, heavy use
4: Large hood or large air mass in motion 4: Small hood-local control only
Simple theory shows that air velocity falls rapidly with distance away from the opening of a simple extraction pipe. Velocity generally decreases
with the square of distance from the extraction point (in simple cases). Therefore the air speed at the extraction point should be adjusted,
accordingly, after reference to distance from the contaminating source. The air velocity at the extraction fan, for example, should be a minimum of
1-2 m/s (200-400 f/min) for extraction of solvents generated in a tank 2 meters distant from the extraction point. Other mechanical considerations,
producing performance deficits within the extraction apparatus, make it essential that theoretical air velocities are multiplied by factors of 10 or
more when extraction systems are installed or used.

adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in their
removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and remove
contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in a clean
environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly. [CDC NIOSH Current Intelligence Bulletin 59], [AS/NZS 1336 or national

The following information refers to contact allergens as a group and may not be specific to this product.
Contact allergies quickly manifest themselves as contact eczema, more rarely as urticaria or Quincke's oedema. The pathogenesis of contact
eczema involves a cell-mediated (T lymphocytes) immune reaction of the delayed type. Other allergic skin reactions, e.g. contact urticaria,
involve antibody-mediated immune reactions. The significance of the contact allergen is not simply determined by its sensitisation potential: the
distribution of the substance and the opportunities for contact with it are equally important. A weakly sensitising substance which is widely
distributed can be a more important allergen than one with stronger sensitising potential with which few individuals come into contact. From a
clinical point of view, substances are noteworthy if they produce an allergic test reaction in more than 1% of the persons tested.
Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ends. This may be due to a non-allergic condition
known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur after exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Main
criteria for diagnosing RADS include the absence of previous airways disease in a non-atopic individual, with sudden onset of persistent
asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. Other criteria for diagnosis of RADS include a reversible
airflow pattern on lung function tests, moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing, and the lack of minimal
lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to
the concentration of and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. On the other hand, industrial bronchitis is a disorder that occurs as a
GLUTARALDEHYDE
result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particles) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The
disorder is characterized by difficulty breathing, cough and mucus production.
Allergic reactions involving the respiratory tract are usually due to interactions between IgE antibodies and allergens and occur rapidly. Allergic
potential of the allergen and period of exposure often determine the severity of symptoms. Some people may be genetically more prone than
others, and exposure to other irritants may aggravate symptoms. Allergy causing activity is due to interactions with proteins.
Attention should be paid to atopic diathesis, characterised by increased susceptibility to nasal inflammation, asthma and eczema.
Exogenous allergic alveolitis is induced essentially by allergen specific immune-complexes of the IgG type; cell-mediated reactions (T
lymphocytes) may be involved. Such allergy is of the delayed type with onset up to four hours following exposure.
The material may cause severe skin irritation after prolonged or repeated exposure and may produce on contact skin redness, swelling, the
production of vesicles, scaling and thickening of the skin. Repeated exposures may produce severe ulceration.
Animal testing shows that glutaraldehyde has a high acute toxicity through inhalation and it may cause lung damage. It is corrosive to the skin
and eyes and exposure to its vapours has caused irritation to the nose and breathing difficulties. It can sensitise skin and irritate the joints in
animal testing. Prolonged skin contact can result in absorption through the skin (although absorption rates are low) according to laboratory testing
with human skin tissue. It is not known whether glutaraldehyde causes genetic damage.
