Styrene exposure is best controlled through the use of
engineering and work practices. Some operations (e.g., certain open molders
using manual techniques) have shown that engineering and work practice controls
are not practical for limiting exposure below 100 ppm. For situations where
engineering controls are not feasible, additional protection in such
as respiratory
protection and personal
protective equipment (PPE) should be provided. The following reference provides possible solutions
for styrene hazards in the workplace.
