AdBlue

Hazards

• • Mild irritant: AdBlue can irritate skin and eyes on contact. Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause dryness or cracking of the skin.

  • Slippery: Spilled AdBlue can create a slippery surface, increasing the risk of falls.

Control Measures

• • Engineering Controls: Ensure adequate ventilation in areas where AdBlue is handled to prevent the buildup of ammonia, which can be released from AdBlue decomposition.

  • Work Practices: Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after handling AdBlue. Do not eat, drink, or smoke in areas where AdBlue is handled. Clean up spills promptly to prevent slips.

Personal Protective Equipment

• • Eye Protection: Safety glasses with side shields or chemical splash goggles are recommended to prevent eye contact.

  • Hand Protection: Wear gloves made of a material impervious to AdBlue, such as nitrile rubber or PVC.

  • Clothing: Wear coveralls or other protective clothing to minimize skin exposure in case of splashing.
