88-89-1 2,4,6-trinitrophenol		0.1mg/m³

Engineering controls: Keep away from foodstuffs, beverages and feed.
Immediately remove all soiled and contaminated clothing.
Wash hands before breaks and at the end of work.
Avoid contact with the eyes.
Avoid contact with the eyes and skin.

Personal protective equipment

Eye and face protection: Tightly sealed goggles.
Skin protection: Protective gloves. The glove material has to be impermeable and resistant to the product/the substance/the preparation.
