When handling ceramic fibers, it's crucial to follow safety measures to protect against inhalation and skin contact. Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), including gloves, goggles, and a respirator with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters. Ensure proper ventilation in the area where fibers are being handled. Avoid generating dust or fiber fragments by using wet cutting methods if possible. Regularly clean work areas to minimize fiber exposure. Dispose of used ceramic fibers in accordance with local regulations, and educate workers about the risks and safe handling practices.
