Which SDS section addresses Exposure controls and Personal protection?

• A. Section 6
• B. Section 8
• C. Section 15
• D. Section 9

Answer: (B)

Exposure controls and personal protection are covered in the SDS section that tells you how to limit worker exposure and what protective gear is required. This part lays out the engineering controls (like ventilation or enclosing the process), administrative controls (safe work practices), and the specific PPE recommended for handling the chemical. It often includes exposure limits or guidelines (such as permissible exposure limits) and notes on when to use respirators, gloves, eye protection, and other protective equipment. This is distinct from sections that describe what the chemical is, how to respond to spills, first-aid measures, or regulatory information. So, for guidance on preventing exposure and choosing protective gear, you turn to this section.
