The Biotherapeutic Occupational Exposure Band (B-OEB) is an acceptable daily intake (ADI) range, based on available hazard data
with appropriate safety factors applied. Engineering control measures should be utilized to bring exposures into the relevant B-OEB;
supplementary administrative controls and personal protective equipment are to be used to achieve exposure control to the bottom of
the band.
Bevacizumab
Pfizer Occupational Exposure B-OEB 4 (control exposure to the range of 10 µg/day to <100 µg/day)
Band (OEB):
Exposure Controls
Engineering Controls: Engineering controls should be used as the primary means to control exposures. Use process
containment, local exhaust ventilation, biosafety cabinet, or other engineering controls to
maintain airborne levels within the B-OEB range. It is recommended that all large scale
operations should be fully enclosed. Air recirculation is not recommended.

SAFETY DATA SHEET
Hands: Wear impervious disposable gloves (e.g. Nitrile, etc.) as minimum protection (double
recommended). (Protective gloves must meet the standards in accordance with EN374,
ASTM F1001 or international equivalent.)
Eyes: Wear safety glasses as minimum protection. (Safety glasses must meet the standards in
accordance with EN166, ANSI Z87.1 or international equivalent.)
Skin: Wear impervious disposable protective clothing when handling this compound. Full body
protection is recommended (scale dependent). (Protective clothing must meet the standards in
accordance with EN13982, ANSI 103 or international equivalent.)
Respiratory protection: If airborne exposures are within or exceed the Biotherapeutic Occupational Exposure Band (B-
OEB) range, wear an appropriate respirator with a protection factor sufficient to control
exposures to the bottom of the B-OEB range. Under normal conditions of use, if the applicable
Biotherapeutic Occupational Exposure Band (B-OEB) is exceeded, wear an appropriate
respirator with a protection factor sufficient to control exposures to below the B-OEB (e.g.
particulate respirator with a full mask, P3 filter). (Respirators must meet the standards in
accordance with EN136, EN143, ASTM F2704-10 or international equivalent.)

Waste Treatment Methods: Dispose of waste in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. Member State
specific and Community specific provisions must be considered. Considering the relevant
known environmental and human health hazards of the material, review and implement
appropriate technical and procedural waste water and waste disposal measures to prevent
occupational exposure and environmental release. It is recommended that waste minimization
be practiced. The best available technology should be utilized to prevent environmental
releases. This may include destructive techniques for waste and wastewater.
