Important Regulatory and Installation Requirements

Fiberglass wool and ceramic fiber materials
WARNING
Inhaling of fiberglass wool and/or ceramic fiber
materials is a possible cancer hazard. These materials
can also cause respiratory, skin and eye irritation.
The state of California has listed the airborne fibers of
these materials as a possible cancer hazard through
inhalation. When handling these materials, special care
must be applied.
Suppliers of ceramic fiber products recommend the
following first aid measures:
- Respiratory tract (nose and throat) irritation:
If respiratory tract irritation develops, move the
person to a dust free location.
- Eye irritation: If eyes become irritated, flush
immediately with large amounts of lukewarm water
for at least 15 minutes. Eyelids should be held away
from the eyeball to ensure thorough rinsing.
Do not rub eyes.
- Skin irritation: If skin becomes irritated, remove soiled
clothing. Do not rub or scratch exposed skin.
Wash area of contact thoroughly with soap and water.
Using a skin cream or lotion after washing may be
helpful.
- Gastrointestinal irritation: If gastrointestinal tract
irritation develops, move the person to a dust free
environment.
Suppliers of fiberglass wool products recommend the
following precautions be taken when handling these
materials:
- Avoid breathing fiberglass dust and contact with
skin and eyes.
- Use NIOSH approved dust/mist respirator.
- Wear long-sleeved, loose fitting clothing, gloves
and eye protection.
- Wash work clothes separately from other clothing.
Rinse washer thoroughly.
- Operations such as sawing, blowing, tear-out and
spraying may generate airborne fiber concentration
requiring additional protection.
