Good WORK PRACTICES can help to reduce hazardous exposures. The following work practices are recommended:
Workers whose clothing has been contaminated by Dibenzofuran should change into clean
clothing promptly.
Do not take contaminated work clothes home. Family members could be exposed.
Contaminated work clothes should be laundered by individuals who have been informed of the
hazards of exposure to Dibenzofuran.
Eye wash fountains should be provided in the immediate work area for emergency use.
If there is the possibility of skin exposure, emergency shower facilities should be provided.
On skin contact with Dibenzofuran, immediately wash or shower to remove the chemical.
At the end of the workshift, wash any areas of the body that may have contacted Dibenzofuran,
whether or not known skin contact has occurred.
Do not eat, smoke, or drink where Dibenzofuran is handled, processed, or stored, since the
chemical can be swallowed. Wash hands carefully before eating, drinking, smoking, or using the toilet.
Use a vacuum or a wet method to reduce dust during clean-up. DO NOT DRY SWEEP.
