Engineering
controls
Provide local exhaust and/or general ventilation to maintain exposure below
regulatory and recommended limits.
Dust collection system must be used in
transferring operations, cutting or other dust
generating processes, such as
using power tools. Vacuum or wet cleaning methods are also recommended.
Power equipment
Equipment operator should wear adequate face and hand protection (gloves
and face
shields) at all times when cutting and/or processing ROCKWOOL stone
wool products with the assistance of powered equipment, such as industrial
saws. All powered equipment used to cut ROCKWOOL stone wool products
should be installed with adequate guarding t
o protect the operator from the
potential of flying debris, and well maintained.
Any additional safety considerations provided by the power equipment
manufacturer should be followed.
Information
applicable to
Product Family V
II
Hot equipment operating at temperatures above 150 °C (302 °F) (run in period):
during initial run-
in, a thermal decomposition of organic matter can be observed
starting around 150 – 200 °C, (302 °F – 392 °F)
as a release of small amounts of
potentially
irritating and harmful fumes. This does not affect the quality or
declared performances of installed products.
The amount and composition of
the fumes will depend on several variables including the amount of insulation
installed, the service temperature, the temperature run in gradient,
the
ventilation rate or the jacketing materials.
The run-
in period can last from a few hours and up to several days. Ventilate the
area well and keep a distance to the heated equipment. For high concent
rations
in enclosed spaces, use a supplied air respirator. For lower concentrations,
an
approved mask with particle filter type N95 or better is adequate. Selection of
specific respirator type shall be made by a qualified person.
