Health & Safety

Silica contains crystalline silica which when inhaled may cause long term lung damage, therefore we recommend wearing a FFP3/P3 Mask and working in a well ventilated area. Keep working areas free of dust by cleaning up with a damp sponge.

In keeping with our overall general advice, we suggest wearing full PPE when handling any of our raw materials. This includes a FFP3/P3 mask, safety glasses, and gloves. We also suggest working in a well-ventilated area.

It is a sensible precaution for children not to work with raw materials.
