The Use of Acoustic Panels as Notice Boards – Ecophon’s Safety Assurance

Notice Boards are often at the heart of offices, schools and other working environments creating hubs for notices, work and other important documents. Whilst acoustic panels are, practically speaking, ideal for use as notice boards little has been researched into the safety of using sound absorbers as display panels. When pins are used on acoustic panels, a tiny amount of glass wool can potentially be omitted into the surrounding atmosphere – too much of this could be dangerous to room users. Particular concern could be raised in schools, pre-schools and offices where students or employees could come into daily contact with glass wool emissions.
