CARE PROGRAMME (“Controlled and Reduced Exposure”)
The trade association representing the European high temperature insulation wool industry (ECFIA) has
undertaken an extensive hygiene programme for High Temperature Insulation Wool (HTIW). The objectives
are twofold: (i) to monitor workplace dust concentrations at both manufacturers’ and customers’ premises,
and (ii) to document manufacturing and use of HTIW products from an industrial hygiene perspective in order
to establish appropriate recommendations to reduce exposures. The initial results of the programme have
been published. If you wish to participate in the CARE programme, contact ECFIA or your Thermal
Ceramics’ supplier.
