HF Exposure Kit:

Before beginning work involving HF, it is highly recommended to have an exposure kit available on-site and in close proximity to the person using HF. The exposure kit must contain the following items:

1. A tube of Calgonate.
   Please note: The gel must be inspected before each use to ensure it has not yet expired. If the tube of Calgonate has already been opened, discard it and purchase a new one. No work with HF can be done with an expired tube of Calgonate.
   
   
2. 2 pairs of Neoprene or Nitrile (minimum 22 mil) gloves.
   
   
3. 1 heavy-duty polyethylene bag to be used for items contaminated by HF.
   
   
4. 1 HF Contaminated Waste Label.
   
   
5. Copy of these procedures and MSDS to take to the emergency room.
   
   
6. Calcium Carbonate (antacid tablets).
