                      AND MAINTAIN OPERATOR COMFORT. 
                      ENGINEERING CONTROLS MUST BE DESIGNED TO MEET
                      THE OSHA CHEMICAL SPECIFIC STANDARD IN 29 CFR 
                      1910. VENTILATION IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN 
                      OPERATOR EXPOSURE BELOW PUBLISHED EXPOSURE
                      LIMITS. USE PROCESS ENCLOSURES, LOCAL EXHAUST
                      VENTILATION, OR OTHER ENGINEERING CONTROLS TO
                      CONTROL AIRBORNE LEVELS BELOW RECOMMENDED
                      EXPOSURE LIMITS; EXPLOSION PROOF EXHAUST 
                      VENTILATION SHOULD BE USED. FACILITIES STORING
