Stone safety warning

Warning: Our stone products are not hazardous as shipped or in finished form. During fabrication (cutting, sawing, grinding, drilling, sanding) and installation, dust and powder that contains crystalline silica may cause irritation to the skin, eyes, nose and airways. Unprotected and prolonged exposure to such dust can cause illnesses such as silicosis, lung fibrosis, lung cancer and kidney disease. Whenever the product is fabricated, wear an OSHA-approved respirator for silica dust. A silica control program must be in place in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. For more information and requirements, see www.P65Warnings.ca.gov and www.osha.gov.

First aid: If the eyes or skin become irritated, flush with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes until symptoms subside. If excessive dust is inhaled, move to a place with fresh air. Consult a physician if you have difficulty breathing or any physical discomfort.
