8. RECOMMENDATIONS ON RISK MANAGEMENT
Closed manufacturing processes (if necessary), high performance forced-air
or local exhaust ventilation at the work zone, use of personal protection equipment.
Minimization of quantity of exposed workers. Use of special dispensers and
pumps designed to prevent splashes / spills. Effective removal of contaminants.
Minimization of manual phases.
Avoidance of contact with contaminated tools and objects. Regular cleaning
of equipment and work area. Verification of the appropriate use of risk
management measures. Ensure high levels of personal hygiene. Inform consumers
through labeling.
