PRECAUTIONS ASSOCIATED WITH HANDLING REFRACTORY LINING MATERIAL
•
This Patterson-Kelley product contains a Combustion Area lined with REFRACTORY
CERAMIC FIBERS (RCFs) similar to many other devices produced in this industry.
•
RCFs have been identified by the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC)
as possibly being carcinogenic to Humans.
•
AVOID breathing particles or dust from RCFs and avoid contact with Skin or Eyes.
•
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) recommends the use
of a respirator meeting current standards, to avoid inhalation of dust. Also recommended is
loose fitting, long sleeved clothing, eye protection and gloves whenever handling RCFs.
Current NIOSH Recommendations are listed on their website at
http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/homepage.html, which should be viewed before the handling or
removal of Refractory Lining Materials on this or any similar device.
•
Using a SPRAY BOTTLE, saturate with WATER; but not dripping, the combustion chamber
lining to prevent dust from becoming airborne.
•
Place removed RCFs into a plastic bag for disposal with normal trash.
•
Wash exposed clothing (if not disposable), TWICE and DRY separately from other laundry.
