The
NatureWood preservatives in ProGuard products penetrate into and will
remain in the wood for a long period of time. However, some preservative
may migrate from the preserved wood into surrounding soil over time and
there may also be incidental contact with the skin during construction
or use.

| • | After working with the wood, wash exposed areas thoroughly. |
| • | Wash work clothes separately from other household clothing before reuse. |
| • | Preserved wood should not be used where it may come into direct or indirect contact with drinking water, except for uses involving incidental contact such as fresh water docks and bridges. |
