HEALTH & SAFETY STATEMENT
13.1 General
Under the Consumer Protection Act 1987 and
Section 6 of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974
we hereby provide the following information on
substances hazardous to health.
Product range reference LCSA-4 air heaters.
13.2 Cautionary note
During first firing some smoking may occur, this is
due to the burning off of protective/lubricating oils
used during appliance production. Most of this will
have been removed during the production testing
process. It is a wise precaution to ensure that
adequate ventilation is provided during the initial
firing and throughout the commissioning period, this
is particularly important if the discharge air is to blow
into a confined space. This smoking does not
constitute a poison hazard.
13.3 Declaration
LCSA heaters contain no asbestos; copper is not
employed in gas carrying components; solder which
has a melting point below 450°C is not used; paints
for corrosion protection and decoration are heat
cured and contain no lead.
The above appliances meet the Electrical Safety
requirements of EN60 335 Pt 1 1988.
13.4 Miscellaneous

the product are dried and cured and present no
known hazard.
