Treated pine is a safe and environmentally friendly product that gives us the beauty and versatility of timber without destroying old growth forests. Common sense and normal safety precautions should be taken when working with timber and using power tools.

Avoid repeated or prolonged contract with skin. Avoid contact with eyes. Avoid breathing dust. Work areas should be kept clean. Sawing, sanding, and routing equipment should be fitted with dust extractors such that dust levels are kept as low as practicable and at least below standards laid down by Worksafe Australia for wood dust, copper, chrome and arsenic. Clean up by vacuum cleaning (not sweeping or compressed air). Wear suitable protective clothing including eye (AS/AZS 1337) and respiratory (AS/NZS 1715 and 1716) protection if airborne dust generated. Wear gloves (AS 2161) and protective clothing (AS 3765,1) when handling freshly treated timber or machining treated timber.

Wash hands thoroughly with mild soap and water after handling treated timber.

FIRST AID

Irrigate eyes with plenty of water. Wash skin with soap and water.

DISPOSAL

Follow above safety instructions and note that disposal of treated timber and its dust and shavings should be by burial. Collect in containers for disposal as trade waste in accordance with local authority guidelines - DO NOT BURN IT.
