The purpose of this treatment is to preserve the wood from insects and fungus. The reason that CCA protects wood from these life forms is because it is poisonous to them. The chemical components of CCA, in sufficient quantities, are also poisonous to other, non -target species, including humans. The likelihood of anyone being exposed to hazardous levels of the chemicals while building fence is remote. However, we will take every reasonable precaution to reduce that likelihood even further. The routes of entry while fence building are: Eye or skin contact with treated wood Inhalation of sawdust Ingestion of sawdust or residues In order to minimize the possibility of exposure, the following Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and procedures will be used by all persons while working with this material: ALWAYS WEAR 1. Leather gloves, which will be dedicated to this activity a. These will be clearly marked "fencing", and kept in plastic bags or other containers when not in use 2. Coveralls, Tyvek suits, or long pants and long sleeved shirts, dedicated to this activity a. These items will be washed separately from other clothing or disposed of on a weekly basis, at minimum 3. Approved eye protection 4. Approved foot protection a. Footwear must be cleaned daily LOADING/UNLOADING AND DRILLING* 1. Same as above 2. Dust mask as appropriate (dispose of daily) SAWING-, SANDING" OR OTHERWISE MACHINING" 1. Same as above 2. Respirator 3. Goggles 'These actions must be performed on a tarp or other surface that will allow proper collection and disposal of sawdust and small pieces of treated lumber. When sweeping 13 is required, the material to be swept must be wetted down prior to sweeping to minimize dust. Good personal hygiene should be practiced, e.g. hand washing before eating, smoking, using restroom, etc. Showering as soon as possible at the end of the fencing shift is encouraged. Disposable seat covers will be used in the vehicles, and changed on a weekly basis, at minimum. They should be removed from the vehicle and folded inside out when the vehicle is being used for other maintenance activities. As stated in the MSDS, lumber treated with CCA, and any material that may have CCA residue on it must not be burned. If there is any fire involving treated lumber, leave area immediately, do not attempt to extinguish it. Report it to PFA immediately by calling 911. Any concerns, questions, inquiry by citizens or the media should be referred to Margit @ 224-6179 or the Project Manager. As you work with this lumber, remember to take all reasonable steps to minimize exposure by the routes of entry during handling and at the end of the shift. These routes are: Eye and skin contact with the material or anything that may have the chemical residue on it from contact with the material e.g. gloves, clothing, etc. Inhalation of sawdust, or, in case of fire, smoke and ash. Ingestion of sawdust or residues. 14 inimum 5" Top Diameter Minimum 3" Top Diam.
