Specify that handling, field treatment, and installation of treated wood products shall be in

conformance with AWPA Standard M4 and all applicable safety requirements.

See BMP number 2. Field cuts that expose untreated wood must be avoided, if at all

possible. On site inspections may be required to ensure compliance with AWPA M4. Specifiers
