encountering DS2 is low, (2) Handling Leaking Containers (Minor) - Situations where containers having small wet spots or

small amounts of DS2 on them may be encountered, and (3) Handling Leaking Containers (Severe) - Situations where

liquid is dripping from containers or where the containers are so corroded that contact with gross amounts of DS2 is

certain if the containers are moved. The sections below contain the proper protection levels for operations in both depot

and garrison storage.

3-3.1 Depot Storage. Types and levels of PPE for operations performed under depot storage of DS2 are shown in Table

2.A full face respirator with organic vapor cartridges which are effective against DETA and EGME and which is approved

by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health is required. If levels of DETA and EGME in the air are

unknown or are at or above the Threshold Limit Values (TLV) of one part per million for DETA and five parts per million for

EGME, then a Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) should be worn in place of the negative pressure full facepiece

respirator.(The TLV values are those set by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists.) Gloves will

be made of butyl rubber and should be long enough to protect the wrists and arms. If the splash suit does not come with

integral boots, then butyl rubber boots should be worn with the splash suit.
