Construction
Bracing with round timber piles rather than sawn timbers is recommended below high tide. All untreated wood exposed by cutting or drilling should be adequately field-treated. Avoid removing the outer shell of wood where treatment is heaviest and resistance greatest. It is recommended that all structures be prefabricated before treatment; minimize problems by specifying framing and boring before treatment whenever possible.
Worker Safety
Chemonite® wood can be stored, handled and worked like untreated wood. As with any wood, wear gloves to avoid splinters, wear eye protection and a dust mask when sawing, drilling and sanding. Wash hands before eating or smoking. Dispose of cut ends in a proper landfill. Treated wood should not be burned in open fires or in stoves, fireplaces or residential boilers. Treated wood from commercial or industrial use may be burned only in commercial or industrial incinerators or boilers in accordance with state and federal regulations. See the Consumer Safety Information Sheet.
