Pressure Treated Wood Safety

Pressure-treated wood is easy to work with. The woodworking projects you build with pressure treated wood products should last a long time. The following simple safety procedures are recommended.

Do not burn treated wood. Toxic materials may be produced as part of the smoke or ashes.
Clean up scraps & sawdust after construction and dispose by ordinary trash collection.
Gloves should be worn to protect against splinters and abrasions.
A dust mask should be worn when sawing, machining or sanding any wood to reduce the inhalation of wood dust. Whenever possible these operations should be performed outdoors to avoid indoor accumulations of airborne sawdust from treated wood.
Appropriate eye protection should be worn to reduce the potential for eye injury from wood dust or particles and flying debris during machining and construction.
After working with pressure-treated wood, thoroughly wash your hands and exposed areas thoroughly with mild soap and water before eating, drinking or using tobacco products.
Because preservatives or sawdust may accumulate on clothes, they should be laundered before reuse. Wash work clothes separately from other clothing or household items with which you may have contact.
Treated wood should not be used where it may come into direct or indirect contact with drinking water, except for uses involving incidental contact such as fresh water docks and bridges.
