workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical
requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions
to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier.

Respiratory Protection:

Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed

the exposure limit requirements or guidelines.  If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements
or guidelines, wear respiratory protection when adverse effects, such as respiratory irritation or
discomfort have been experienced, or where indicated by your risk assessment process.  In misty
