Hazard Statements

Precautionary Statements

During the installation be certain that the work site is well ventilated and avoid breathing dust.

Avoid contact with skin or eyes. Wear long-sleeve, loose fitting clothes, gloves and eye protection.

Cut and trim with knife, razor or hand saw. Do not cut with power equipment unless either a dust collector is used on the equipment or local exhaust is used and a NIOSH approved respirator is worn to prevent ovrexposure to airborne silica.

Exposures to respirable crystalline silica are not detected in industrial hygiene testing on workers installing acoustical ceiling panels for an 8 hour work day and are not expected during the normal use of this product; however, actual levels must be determined by workplace hygiene testing.

Prolonged and repeated exposure to airborne free respirable crystalline silica can result in lung disease (i.e., silicosis) and/or lung cancer.

Panels do not release respirable dust in their installed state and therefore do not present any known health hazards when installed and properly maintained.
