SECTION 8. EXPOSURE CONTROLS/PERSONAL PROTECTION
Components with workplace control parameters
Components CAS-No. Value type Control Basis
(Form of parameters /
exposure) Permissible
concentration
Ethanol 64-17-5 TWA 1,000 ppm AU OEL
1,880 mg/m3
STEL 1,000 ppm ACGIH
Lidocaine 137-58-6 TWA 0.05 mg/m3 COM
Engineering measures : The specific controls will depend on local circumstances and
should be based on the risk assessment. Appropriate
controls to reduce exposure may include engineering
controls, for example ventilation, procedural controls and the
use of personal protection equipment.
Prevent entry into drains, sewers or watercourses.
Personal protective equipment
Respiratory protection : Use a negative pressure air purifying respirator (half face
mask) with filter class A if the risk assessment does not
support the selection of other protection.
Eye protection : Use safety glasses to protect against direct contact with the
product if the risk assessment does not support the selection
of other protection.
Skin and body protection : Avoid contact with skin. Use chemical protective gloves with
a permeation time greater than the activity duration. Take
note of the information given by the PPE producer/supplier
concerning permeability and breakthrough times and special
workplace conditions.
Protective measures : Decisions about whether the use of personal protective
equipment (PPE) is appropriate as part of the control strategy
should be based on the workplace risk assessment and
should take account of local legislative requirements for
selection and use. There are multiple factors that will affect
the specific requirements such as amount and concentration
of the material, duration of exposure, frequency of exposure,
external environmental conditions, the task, the user etc.
All the information above should not be used in isolation and
should be considered in the context of the workplace risk
assessment on a case by case basis.
The recommended personal protective equipment (PPE) is
based on preventing the potential adverse health effects from
exposure to the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). The
risk of exposure to the API in the formulation/product needs
to be taken into consideration.
