AREA
Tells where hazards may
occur.
HAZARD
Tells what the hazard is.
SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
Toxic Substances Certain material may be harmful if
inhaled, or if there is contact with
the skin.
Follow the requirements of the Material Safety Data
Sheet supplied by coating material manufacturer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air
free of accumulations of toxic materials.
Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance of
inhaling sprayed materials. The mask must be compat-
ible with the material being sprayed and its concentra-
tion. Equipment must be as prescribed by an industrial
hygienist or safety expert, and be NIOSH approved.
Spray Area /
High Voltage
Equipment
There is a high voltage device that
can induce an electrical charge on
objects which is capable of igniting
coating materials.
Inadequate grounding will cause
a spark hazard. A spark can ignite
many coating materials and cause
a fire or explosion.
Parts being sprayed must be supported on conveyors
or hangers and be grounded. The resistance between
the part and ground must not exceed 1 megohm.
All electrically conductive objects in the spray area, with
the exception of those objects required by the process
to be at high voltage, must be grounded.
Any person working in the spray area must be
grounded.
Unless specifically approved for use in hazardous loca-
tions, the power supply and other electrical control
equipment must not be used in Class 1, Division 1 or
2 locations.
Personnel Safety/
Mechanical
Hazards
The disk atomizer can rotate at
speeds up to 40,000 RPM. At these
speeds, the edge of the applica-
tor can easily cut into skin. Loose
articles can also be caught by the
rotating disk.
Personnel must stay clear of the disk whenever it is
rotating.
Before touching the disk, the turbine air must be shut
off.
If the disk has been rotating, allow at least three minutes
for it to come to a complete stop before touching it.
