HEALTH & SAFETY INSTRUCTION
Many building products, including chimney elements are
manufactured using natural raw materials which contain
proportions of crystaline quartz.
During the mechanical processing of products, such as cutting
and drilling, quartz dust is released which can get into the lungs.
With higher levels of exposure over longer periods this may
result in damage to the lungs (silicosis) and as a consequence
of the silicosis disease, to an increased risk of lung cancer.
THE FOLLOWING PROTECTIVE MEASURES ARE TO BE
TAKEN
•
When cutting and drilling, a P3/FFP3 respiratory protection
mask is to be worn.
•
In addition, wet-cutting equipment or equipment with dust
extraction should be used.
Protection measures are
required when cutting and
drilling. Wet-cutting or dust
extraction should be used.

HAZARDS FOR PEOPLE AND THE ENVIRONMENT
Mineral wool insulation materials in this group of products
can release fine fibres which may have carcinogenic effects
in the lungs. If inhaled, fibres can get into the body and cause
damage to health. Larger fibres or fragments of fibres can cause
irritation (itching) of the skin, the upper airways and the eyes!
PROTECTION MEASURES AND SAFE PRACTICE
Avoid contact with the skin!
After finishing work, rinse off dust with water and change your
clothes. wash exposed areas of skin thoroughly with soap and if
necessary use a skin care product!
For low-level activities (exposure
category E1/E2) the use of half
or quarter masks with P2 filters
(white) or FFP2 particle filtering
half masks is recommended.
When working overhead and
where large amounts of dust are
produced, wear goggles with side
protection.
Protective gloves, e.g. in leather
or nitrile-coated cotton.
