Working with Carbon Fiber and Fiberglass materials has been shown to risk long term health issues, particularly from exposure to particles ~5um in size with a ~3:1 aspect ratio. (Called WHO-fibers because of the assessments by the World Health Organization)

For this reason, the milling, cutting, sanding, or processing of cured resin with Carbon Fiber and/or Fiberglass materials requires a safety plan approved by the Board of Directors, and a supporting committee to house the operation.

To be successful, the safety plan must at a minimum address personal and space protections for the WHO-fibers.

Additional Information:
As of the approval of this policy (2024-05-15) there is currently no safety plan in place to support operations on cured Carbon Fiber and/or Fiberglass material.
