NOTES:
1)
"AS NEEDED" means to use when and in such a way so as to prevent
significant skin contact with oil.
2)
"RUBBER"/"RESISTANT" means chemical resistant material which resists oil
penetrating to the skin or cloth garments underneath. Neoprene is a common
material which is resistant to many oils.
3)
Respiratory protection is used in this ensemble as a safe work practice
while working around carcinogens in order to keep low exposures as low as
reasonably attainable. For spill response involving oils that may still
contain benzene in particular this may be used while working in close
proximity to spilled product until benzene has weathered away (typically
the first day).
