Section 4 - Guidance to check compliance with the exposure scenario


Predicted exposures are not expected to exceed the applicable exposure limits (given in section 8 of the SDS) when the
operational conditions/risk management measures given in section 2 are implemented. Where other risk management
measures/operational conditions are adopted, then users should ensure that risks are managed to at least equivalent levels.
Guidance is based on assumed operating conditions which may not be applicable to all sites; thus, scaling may be necessary
to define appropriate site-specific risk management measures.

Section 4 - Guidance to check compliance with the exposure scenario


Predicted exposures are not expected to exceed the applicable exposure limits (given in section 8 of the SDS) when the
operational conditions/risk management measures given in section 2 are implemented. Where other risk management
measures/operational conditions are adopted, then users should ensure that risks are managed to at least equivalent levels.
Guidance is based on assumed operating conditions which may not be applicable to all sites; thus, scaling may be necessary
to define appropriate site-specific risk management measures.

Section 4 - Guidance to check compliance with the exposure scenario


Predicted exposures are not expected to exceed the applicable exposure limits (given in section 8 of the SDS) when the
operational conditions/risk management measures given in section 2 are implemented. Where other risk management
measures/operational conditions are adopted, then users should ensure that risks are managed to at least equivalent levels.
Guidance is based on assumed operating conditions which may not be applicable to all sites; thus, scaling may be necessary
to define appropriate site-specific risk management measures.
