• Do not burn fire retardant treated wood.
• Wear NIOSH N95 dust mask and goggles when cutting or sanding wood.
• Wear gloves when working with wood.
• Some fire retardant treated wood chemicals may migrate from the treated wood into soil/water or may dislodge from the treated wood surface upon contact with skin. Wash exposed skin areas thoroughly.
• All sawdust and construction debris should be cleaned up and disposed of after construction.
• Wash work clothes separately from other household clothing before reuse.
• Fire retardant treated wood should not be used where it may come into direct or indirect contact with drinking water.
• Do not use fire retardant treated wood under circumstances where it may become a component of food, animal feed, or beehives.
• Do not use fire retardant treated wood as mulch.
• Only fire retardant treated wood that is visibly clean and free of surface residue should be used.
• If the wood is to be used in an interior application and becomes wet during construction, it should be allowed to dry before being covered or enclosed.
• Disposal Recommendations - Fire retardant treated wood may be disposed of in landfills or burned in commercial or industrial incinerators or boilers in accordance with federal, state, and local regulations.
• If you desire to apply paint, stain, clear water repellent, or other finish to your fire retardant treated wood, we recommend following the manufacturer’s instructions and label of the finishing product. Before you start, we recommend you apply the finishing product to a small exposed test area before completing the entire project to insure it provides the intended result before proceeding.
• Projects should be designed and installed in accordance with federal, state, and local building codes and ordinances governing construction in your area and in accordance with the National Design Specifications (NDS) and the Wood Handbook .
• Mold growth can and does occur on the surface of many products, including untreated and fire retardant treated wood, during prolonged surface exposure to excessive moisture conditions. To remove mold from the treated wood surface, wood should be allowed to dry. Typically, mild soap and water can be used to remove remaining surface mold. For more information visit www.epa.gov
• Use fire retardant treated wood safely. Always read the label and product information before use.
