HEALTH AND SAFETY
INFORMATION FOR THE USER, INSTALLER AND SERVICE ENGINEER
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, it is a
requirement to provide information on substances hazardous to health (COSHH Regulations
1998).
Trianco takes every reasonable care to ensure that its products are designed and constructed to
meet these safety requirements when the products are properly installed and used. To fulfil the
requirements, products are comprehensively tested and examined before despatch.
When working on the appliance, it is the responsibility of the user or engineer to ensure that
personal protective clothing or equipment
—appropriate to parts that could be considered
hazardous or harmful
—is worn.
This appliance may contain some of the items below:
Insulation and Seals
Glass rope, mineral wool, insulation pads, ceramic fibre, glass insulation.
When handling, avoid inhalation and contact with eyes. These may be harmful and cause
irritation to the skin, eyes, nose or throat. Use disposable gloves, face masks and eye protection.
After handling, wash hands and other exposed areas. When disposing of materials, limit dust and
the risk of inhalation by using a water spray. Ensure materials are securely wrapped.
Seek urgent medical attention if inhaled or ingested. Exposure to eyes and skin should be
followed by immediate cleansing of the affected areas and medical attention if necessary.
Glues, Sealants and Paints
The glues, sealants and paints used present no known hazards when the appliance is used in the
manner for which it is intended.
Mineral Oils
The appliance is designed to run on 28 sec. kerosene class C2. The effects of mineral oils on the
skin will vary depending on the length of exposure.
Avoid any skin contact with oil or clothing contaminated with oil. Kerosene will remove the
protective grease normally present on the surface of the skin, rendering it dry, liable to cracking
and more prone to damage caused by cuts and abrasions. Seek immediate medical attention for
any rash, wart or sore that develops on any part of the body.
Barrier cream that contains lanolin, such as Rosalex Antisolv is recommended together with a
strict regime of personal cleaning.
Do not breath oil vapours. Do not fire the burner in the open (i.e. out of the boiler) as a misfire will
produce unburned oil vapours. Under no circumstances should mineral oils be taken internally.
