Personal Protection

When performing tasks with NO potential for contact with liquid fumigant, all handlers (including applicators) must: Wear long-sleeved shirt, long pants, shoes and socks. Not wear jewelry, goggles, tight clothing, chemical-resistant gloves, rubber protective clothing, or rubber boots when handling. Methyl bromide can be trapped inside clothing and cause skin injury. Handlers with no potential for contact with liquid fumigant (e.g. shovelers) may wear cotton, leather, or other porous, non-chemical-resistant gloves. If such gloves are exposed to liquid fumigant, they must immediately be removed and discarded. When performing tasks with potential for contact with liquid fumigant, all handlers (including applicators) must wear: Long-sleeved shirt and long pants, Chemical-resistant gloves, Chemical-resistant apron, Protective eyewear (Do NOT wear goggles), and Chemical-resistant footwear with socks. In addition, when an air-purifying respirator is required under the label’s Directions for Use, Protection for Handlers, Respiratory Protection and Stop Work Triggers section, handlers (including applicators) must wear: A NIOSH-certified full-facepiece air-purifying respirator with cartridges certified by the manufacturer for protection from exposure to methyl bromide at concentrations up to 5 ppm (e.g., a 3M air-purifying respirator equipped with 3M Model 60928 Organic Vapor/Acid Gas/P100 cartridges). IMPORTANT: A self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA) is not permitted for routine handler tasks. If responding to an emergency when corrective action is needed to reduce air concentrations to acceptable levels, wear an SCBA. Escape-only SCBA respirators must not be used by handlers for responding to emergencies. In addition wear PPE required for potential contact with liquid fumigant.

Restricted Entry Interval
