For citric acid, a threshold limit value for occupational exposure has not been established as of the date of preparation of this document.

8.2. Exposure controls

Appropriate engineering controls

Handle in accordance with good safety practice. Wash hands after use. Ensure good ventilation of the workplace by means of an effective local intake system.

Protective and hygiene measures

Eye/face protection

Safety glasses with side-shields. Use equipment for eye protection tested and approved under appropriate government standards such as NIOSH (US) or EN 166(EU).

Skin protection

Handle with gloves. Gloves must be inspected prior to use. Use proper glove removal technique (without touching glove's outer surface) to avoid skin contact with this product. Dispose of contaminated gloves after use in accordance with applicable laws and good laboratory practices. Wash and dry hands.

The selected protective gloves have to satisfy the specifications of EU Directive 89/686/EEC and the standard EN 374 derived from it.

Protection for immersion and splash

Full contact and splash contact: nitrile rubber gloves of a minimum thickness of 0.11 mm. Breakthrough time: equal to 480 minutes.

If used in solution, or mixed with other substances, and under conditions other than those mentioned in EN 374.

Contact the supplier of CE approved gloves. This recommendation applies by way of advice and must be assessed by an industrial hygienist and a security officer aware of the specific situation. Do not mistake as an endorsement of a specific exposure scenario.

Body Protection

Chemicals protection clothing. Remove/Take off all contaminated clothing.

Respiratory protection

If the risk assessment shows the need for air-purifying respirators, use a full face mask with combined filter type ABEK (EN 14387) as a backup to engineering. If the respirator is the sole means of protection, use a full-face supplied air respirator. Use respirators and components tested and approved by standards bodies such as NIOSH (US) and the CEN (EU).
