3 Exposure information and reference to its source

Information for contributing scenario 1

An environmental assessment has not been performed as the substance does not meet the criteria for beingclassified as dangerous for the environment


Workers exposure estimation has been calculated using ECETOC TRA

Workers exposure Exposure estimation DNEL

Long-term - local effects, dermal 0,2 mg/cm²/day 4,5 mg/cm²

Long-term - local effects, inhalation 0,01 mg/m³ 6,3 mg/m³

Long-term - systemic effects, dermal 1,37 mg/kg bw/day 34,7 mg/kgbodyweight/day

Long-term - systemic effects, inhalation 0,01 mg/m³ 10,4 mg/m³

4 Guidance to DU to evaluate whether he works inside the boundaries set by the ES

Using the first tier model of ECETOC TRA and assuming worst case operational conditions (no LEV, no PPEand 4/8 hours exposure), the substance does not pose a risk to human health for workers in this scenario.No additional risk management measures, besides those that are mentioned above, are needed to guaranteesafe use for workers.

Using the first tier model of ECETOC TRA and assuming worst case operational conditions (no LEV, no PPEand 4/8 hours exposure), the substance does not pose a risk to human health for workers in this scenario.No additional risk management measures, besides those that are mentioned above, are needed to guarantee

Additional good practices (Operational Conditions and Risk Management Measures) beyond the REACHChemical Safety Assessment established within Chemical Industry are also advised and communicatedthrough Safety Data Sheets. Such as:- Containment as appropriate;- Minimise number of staff exposed;- Segregation of the emitting process;- Effective contaminant extraction;- Good standard of general ventilation;- Minimisation of manual phases;- Avoidance of contact with contaminated tools and objects;- Regular cleaning of equipment and work area;- Management/supervision in place to check that RMMs in place are being used correctly and OCsfollowed;- Training staff on good practice;- Good standard of personal hygiene
