by IARC, NTP or OSHA.
The Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) reported above are the pre-1989 limits
that were reinstated by OSHA following a decision by the 11th Circuit Court of
Appeals. These PELs are being enforced by Federal OSHA. Be aware that
more restrictive limits may be enforced by some states. The Armor All / STP
Products Company recommends that the lower exposure limits be observed
as reasonable worker protection.

8 EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
General ventilation should be adequate for normal use. For operations
Ventilation Procedures
where the product is heated or misted and exposures may be
excessive, mechanical ventilation such as local exhaust may be
needed to minimize exposure.
Chemical resistant gloves such as PVC coated gloves are
Gloves Protection
recommended to prevent prolonged/repeated skin contact.
Splash proof goggles are recommended to prevent eye contact.
Eye Protection
None needed under normal use conditions. For operations where the
Respiratory Protection
exposures may be excessive, a NIOSH/MSHA approved organic vapor
respirator with a dust/mist pre-filter or supplied air respirator is
recommended. Equipment selection depends on contaminant type and
concentration, select in accordance with 29 CFR 1910.134 and good
industrial hygiene practice. For firefighting, use self-contained
breathing apparatus.
Protective clothing if needed to avoid prolonged / repeated skin
