Treated wood should not be burned in open fires or in stove, fireplaces, or residential boilers because toxic chemicals may be produced as part of the smoke and ashes. Avoid frequent or prolonged inhalation of sawdust from treated wood. When sawing and machining treated wood, wear a dust mask. Whenever possible, these operations should be performed outdoors to avoid indoor accumulations of airborne sawdust from treated wood. When power-sawing and machining, wear goggles to protect eyes from flying particles.
Gloves can provide extra protection against splinters and freshly treated wet wood.
Allow freshly treated wet wood to dry thoroughly before handling. Follow good personal hygiene practices in the shop and on the job. After working with the wood, and before eating, drinking, and use of tobacco products, wash exposed areas thoroughly. If preservatives or sawdust accumulates on clothing, launder before reuse. Wash work clothes separately from other household clothing.
