Health and Safety

Care should be taken to avoid puncturing the pillows as dust generated may cause irritation to skin or eyes. Wear gloves and dust mask if handling damaged pillows.

Keep out of reach of children. Normal good industrial and personal hygiene practices should be observed.

Installation

They are quick and easy to fit and can be removed for re-use or allow new services to be passed through the penetration, to maintain the integrity of the structure simply re-fill the void with the pillows. In all situations the pillows should be fitted on a staggered formation and be packed tightly into the opening.

If the pillows are to be used in floor penetrations a support mesh must  be used.
