In addition to health hazards, the opportunity for fires and explosions increases.
Lead poisoning can occur from ingestion and inhalation of lead-based paint particles.
Exposure to other hazardous constituents of paints can occur in the same way. Controls See 1915.35 for standards covering painting operations in shipbuilding and repair. Mechanical air supply and exhaust are used to ventilate confined spaces and control exposures during painting operations. Painting with lead -based paints can be done at night when other workers will not be exposed. See 1910.1025 for the standard covering occupational exposures to lead.
