Im building a deck, what do I need to know about handling preserved wood?
Whenever you use preserved wood there are some tips you need to follow: • Wear a dust mask and goggles when cutting or sanding wood. • Wear gloves when working with wood. • Some preservative 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. • Wash thoroughly after use with soap and water and before eating or smoking. • Wash work clothes separately from other household clothing before reuse.
