INFORMATION FOR THE INSTALLER AND SERVICE ENGINEER.

Under Section 6 of The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, we are required to provide  information on substances hazardous to health.

CERAMIC FIBRE/INSULATION PADS

.

These can cause irritation to skin, eyes and the respiratory tract. If you have a history of skin complaint you may be susceptible to irritation. High dust
levels are usual only if the material is broken. Normal handling should not cause discomfort, but follow normal good hygiene and wash your hands
before eating, drinking or going to the lavatory. If you do suffer irritation of the eyes or severe irritation to the skin seek medical attention.

THERMOSTATS

These contain very small amounts of xylene in the sealed phial and capillary. If broken, under normal circumstances the fluid does not cause a
problem, but in case of skin contact, wash with cold water. If swallowed drink plenty of water and  seek medical attention.

CUT-OFF DEVICES

These contain activated charcoal and a very small amount of chlorodifluormethane in the sealed phial and capillary. If broken, under normal

circumstances the fluid does not cause a problem. If there is irritation to the eyes or skin then seek medical attention.
