When handling enzyme preparations or enzyme-contaminated equipment, avoid direct skin contact. Wear appropriate gloves when there is a potential for skin contact with enzymes. Wash enzyme-contaminated surfaces thoroughly before handling. Under most operating conditions involving enzymes, respiratory protection is not normally necessary. There are some operations, such as spill cleanup, equipment cleaning, and equipment repairing, that may generate aerosols. In these instances, respiratory protection may be necessary. The use of respiratory protection is usually necessary when working with powdered enzymes. Respiratory protection should also be used when indicated by your supervisor, safety professional or medical personnel.
