Control measures
Hierarchy-of-controls order: elimination → substitution → isolation → engineering → administrative → PPE.
- 1Wear chemical-resistant gloves, P2 respirator, eye protection and coveralls per SDS requirements during all mixing and application.
- 2Use on-tool dust extraction (M-class vacuum) when drilling slab perimeter to control respirable crystalline silica.
- 3Maintain spill kit on site; bund mixing area and never apply within 1m of stormwater drains.
