Exposure controls
Engineering controls are used to remove a hazard or place a barrier between the worker and the hazard. Well-designed engineering controls can
be highly effective in protecting workers and will typically be independent of worker interactions to provide this high level of protection.
The basic types of engineering controls are:
Process controls which involve changing the way a job activity or process is done to reduce the risk.
Appropriate engineering Enclosure and/or isolation of emission source which keeps a selected hazard "physically" away from the worker and ventilation that strategically
controls "adds" and "removes" air in the work environment. Ventilation can remove or dilute an air contaminant if designed properly. The design of a
ventilation system must match the particular process and chemical or contaminant in use.
Employers may need to use multiple types of controls to prevent employee overexposure.

General exhaust is adequate under normal operating conditions.

Individual protection
measures, such as personal
protective equipment

Safety glasses with side shields.

Chemical goggles. [AS/NZS 1337.1, EN166 or national equivalent]
Contact lenses may pose a special hazard; soft contact lenses may absorb and concentrate irritants. A written policy document, describing
the wearing of lenses or restrictions on use, should be created for each workplace or task. This should include a review of lens absorption
Eye and face protection
and adsorption for the class of chemicals in use and an account of injury experience. Medical and first-aid personnel should be trained in
their removal and suitable equipment should be readily available. In the event of chemical exposure, begin eye irrigation immediately and
remove contact lens as soon as practicable. Lens should be removed at the first signs of eye redness or irritation - lens should be removed in
a clean environment only after workers have washed hands thoroughly.
Skin protection See Hand protection below
Wear chemical protective gloves, e.g. PVC.
Wear safety footwear or safety gumboots, e.g. Rubber
The selection of suitable gloves does not only depend on the material, but also on further marks of quality which vary from manufacturer to
manufacturer. Where the chemical is a preparation of several substances, the resistance of the glove material can not be calculated in advance
Hands/feet protection and has therefore to be checked prior to the application.
The exact break through time for substances has to be obtained from the manufacturer of the protective gloves and has to be observed when
making a final choice.
Personal hygiene is a key element of effective hand care. Gloves must only be worn on clean hands. After using gloves, hands should be
washed and dried thoroughly. Application of a non-perfumed moisturiser is recommended.

SECTION 11 Toxicological information

Information on toxicological effects

The material can cause respiratory irritation in some persons. The body's response to such irritation can cause further lung damage.
Inhaled
Not normally a hazard due to non-volatile nature of product
Ingestion of large quantities may cause nausea, diarrhoea and vomiting. Biokinetic studies indicate that a 70 kg adult should be able to
metabolise and excrete over 2 grams of glycerol in an 8-hour workday.
Ingestion
Although ingestion is not thought to produce harmful effects (as classified under EC Directives), the material may still be damaging to the health
of the individual, following ingestion, especially where pre-existing organ (e.g. liver, kidney) damage is evident.
The material may accentuate any pre-existing dermatitis condition
Skin contact is not thought to have harmful health effects (as classified under EC Directives); the material may still produce health damage
following entry through wounds, lesions or abrasions.
Open cuts, abraded or irritated skin should not be exposed to this material
Skin Contact
Entry into the blood-stream, through, for example, cuts, abrasions or lesions, may produce systemic injury with harmful effects. Examine the skin
prior to the use of the material and ensure that any external damage is suitably protected.
The material may cause mild but significant inflammation of the skin either following direct contact or after a delay of some time. Repeated
exposure can cause contact dermatitis which is characterised by redness, swelling and blistering.
Evidence exists, or practical experience predicts, that the material may cause eye irritation in a substantial number of individuals. Prolonged eye
Eye
contact may cause inflammation characterised by a temporary redness of the conjunctiva (similar to windburn).
Long-term exposure to respiratory irritants may result in airways disease, involving difficulty breathing and related whole-body problems.
Chronic
Substance accumulation, in the human body, may occur and may cause some concern following repeated or long-term occupational exposure.

specified data extracted from RTECS - Register of Toxic Effect of chemical Substances

Asthma-like symptoms may continue for months or even years after exposure to the material ends. This may be due to a non-allergic condition
known as reactive airways dysfunction syndrome (RADS) which can occur after exposure to high levels of highly irritating compound. Main
criteria for diagnosing RADS include the absence of previous airways disease in a non-atopic individual, with sudden onset of persistent
asthma-like symptoms within minutes to hours of a documented exposure to the irritant. Other criteria for diagnosis of RADS include a reversible
airflow pattern on lung function tests, moderate to severe bronchial hyperreactivity on methacholine challenge testing, and the lack of minimal
GLYCEROL lymphocytic inflammation, without eosinophilia. RADS (or asthma) following an irritating inhalation is an infrequent disorder with rates related to
the concentration of and duration of exposure to the irritating substance. On the other hand, industrial bronchitis is a disorder that occurs as a
result of exposure due to high concentrations of irritating substance (often particles) and is completely reversible after exposure ceases. The
disorder is characterized by difficulty breathing, cough and mucus production.
At very high concentrations, evidence predicts that glycerol may cause tremor, irritation of the skin, eyes, digestive tract and airway. Otherwise it
is of low toxicity. There is no significant evidence to suggest that it causes cancer, genetic, reproductive or developmental toxicity.

For Glycerol: Log Kow: -2.66 to -2.47, Atmospheric Fate: Glycerol is broken down in the air by hydroxyl radicals the half-life for this process is 6.8 hours. However, only a negligible
amount of the substance will move to the atmospheric compartment. Terrestrial Fate: Only a negligible amount of glycerol will move into the soil compartment, if released into the
environment. Aquatic Fate: Glycerol is considered to be readily biodegradable in the aquatic environment. Pre-adapted microorganisms can break glycerol down rapidly in
oxygenated/low oxygen waters. The substance is not expected to react with water. When released to water, 100% of the substance will remain in the water compartment - only
negligible amounts will be distributed to sediment.

SECTION 13 Disposal considerations

Waste treatment methods

Legislation addressing waste disposal requirements may differ by country, state and/ or territory. Each user must refer to laws operating in their
area. In some areas, certain wastes must be tracked.
A Hierarchy of Controls seems to be common - the user should investigate:
Reduction
Reuse
Recycling
Disposal (if all else fails)
This material may be recycled if unused, or if it has not been contaminated so as to make it unsuitable for its intended use. If it has been
contaminated, it may be possible to reclaim the product by filtration, distillation or some other means. Shelf life considerations should also be
Product / Packaging disposal applied in making decisions of this type. Note that properties of a material may change in use, and recycling or reuse may not always be
appropriate.
DO NOT allow wash water from cleaning or process equipment to enter drains.
It may be necessary to collect all wash water for treatment before disposal.
In all cases disposal to sewer may be subject to local laws and regulations and these should be considered first.
Where in doubt contact the responsible authority.
Recycle wherever possible or consult manufacturer for recycling options.
Consult State Land Waste Authority for disposal.
Bury or incinerate residue at an approved site.
Recycle containers if possible, or dispose of in an authorised landfill.
