HANDLING
No special protective measures are normally required. Millboard grades are not considered to be a dense material, but care should be taken not to exceed the safe working loads of lifting gear, hoists, sacker trucks, racks, shelving or floors.

STORAGE
To avoid damage and distortion, Millboard grades should be stored under the cover on a smooth, level foundation in a dry environment. Millboard products are non-combustible and therefore do not burn, Millboard grades are chemically stable and there is no hazard under normal conditions.

MACHINING
Machining of Millboard grades causes dust. When regular or large scale machining operations are carried out it is good occupational hygiene practice to keep all dust to the lowest practicable level. Dust extraction should be provided on all machines where operations produce appreciable dust. Ventilation is required to ensure that the dust does not become airborne and is extracted in a direction away from the operator.

PROTECTION
OF SIGHT AND HEARING
Care should be taken to ensure that eyes are protected against flying particles. The machining of Ceramic Fibre and Alumina Products may include processes which are subject to the Protection of Eyes Regulations Act 1974. Where machining operations cause excessive noise levels, appropriate precautions should be taken.

CHEMICAL
PROCESSING
If any further processing of Millboard grades involving use of potentially hazardous chemicals, advice should be obtained from the suppliers of the chemicals regarding their safe use and handling.

HEALTH
AND SAFETY INFORMATION
Man made fibres can cause irritation of the skin and eyes and excessively dusty conditions may cause irritation to the upper respiratory tract. Whilst most peoples skin becomes resistant after a period of adaptation, some need to take precautions to protect their skin and a small number may have to move to other work. I.A.R.C. (International Agency for Research in Cancer) classifies glass wool, rock wool, slag wool and ceramic fibres as 'possible carcinogenic to humans' (Category 2b).

STANDARDS
Maximum Exposure Limit (MEL) for ceramic fibre is 5 mg/m3 and an airborne fibre limit of 2 f/ml. Both grades contain Ball Clay. Ball Clay contains up to 10% quartz the MEL for quartz is 0.4 mf/m3.

DISPOSAL
OF WASTE
Millboard dust should be removed by vacuum at frequent intervals during work to prevent accumulation of dust. Industrial vacuum cleaners with special filters and bags must be used. Where vacuuming is not possible the dust should be dampened and collected whilst still damp. Such dust should be placed in impermeable, heavy-gauge polythene sacks or bags which should then be sealed, and disposed of. Such waste must be disposed of at an authorised tip by arrangement with the local waste disposal authority, the appropriate (district or island) council. Off-cuts should be dispose dof in the same manner.
