Fence Construction Best Practices

At Only Fencing, safety comes first when it comes to the construction of your fencing project.

Fence Construction Safety

Please keep in mind the following:

All sawdust and construction debris should be cleaned up and disposed of after construction.
Do not use treated wood under circumstances where the preservative may become a component of food or animal feed.
Only treated wood that is visibly clean and free of surface residue should be used where contact is likely.
Do not use treated wood for construction of those portions of beehives which may come into contact with honey.
Treated wood should not be used where it may come into direct or indirect contact with drinking water.

Dispose of treated wood by ordinary trash collection. TREATED WOOD SHOULD NOT BE BURNED.
Avoid frequent or prolonged inhalation of sawdust from wood, treated or untreated.
When sawing, sanding, and machining wood, wear a dust mask. Whenever possible, these operations should be performed outdoors.
When power-sawing and machining, wear goggles to protect eyes from flying particles.
Wear gloves when working with wood. Use proper techniques when lifting.
After working with wood, and before eating, drinking, toileting, or using tobacco products, wash exposed skin areas thoroughly.
Because preservatives or on clothes, they should be laundered before reuse.
Wash work clothes separately from other household clothing.
