Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Sprayers.
The following recommendations apply to all workers
					 engaged in spray painting operations:
(1)
					 Sprayers of vitreous enamel or other siliceous materials, who are not wearing
					 air helmets or respirators, should be supplied with a mild nonirritating
					 solution for use as a nasal douche or wash at the end of their working
					 periods.
(2) Spray operators in
					 booths and room booths should exercise care not to come between the exhaust
					 outlet and any spray created.
(3)
					 Operators spraying in any location should not spray toward each other where
					 there is any possibility of spray or spray vapors striking the head or face of
					 another operator.
(4) Operators
					 spraying inside of room booths, in the open air, or in other locations not
					 provided with exhaust equipment should wear caps or other head coverings to
					 protect the hair. This is not necessary in the case of operators stationed
					 outside of a booth who are spraying into a booth.
(5) Where spraying is done in room booths, in
					 open shops, or in the open, the employer should provide nondrying oil or grease
					 for all workers, for the purpose of anointing exposed parts of the body during
					 spraying operations.
(6) It is
					 advisable not to have one sprayer working continuously on the interiors of
					 cabinets, chests or other hollow objects, as it is difficult to prevent
					 completely the rebound of spray into the face of the worker when doing work of
					 this nature.
(7) In addition to the
					 washing or bathing facilities required by Chapter 41 (relating to sanitation)
					 adequate supplies of soap and nail brushes should be provided for spray
					 operators and their helpers.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 34 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Part I - Department of Labor and Industry › Chapter 35 - PAINTS › Subchapter B - SPRAY COATING › RECOMMENDATIONS › Section 35.132 - Physical examinations

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
(a)
Initial.
The health of persons doing spray coating may be
					 injured by inhaling such substances as lead, poisonous solvents, especially
					 benzol, or finely divided siliceous material. To render complete protection to
					 spray operators from these hazards it is recommended that operators be given a
					 physical examination, including X-ray examinations, previous to or within one
					 week of employment, with the following two objects in view:
(1) To determine whether they have any
					 physical defects which might be made worse by their employment.
(2) To obtain a record of their physical
					 condition for comparison with succeeding examinations.
Pennsylvania Code › Title 34 - LABOR AND INDUSTRY › Part I - Department of Labor and Industry › Chapter 35 - PAINTS › Subchapter B - SPRAY COATING › RECOMMENDATIONS › Section 35.133 - Fire protection

Current through Register Vol. 54, No. 28, July 13, 2024
The following recommendations apply to fire
						protection:
(1) Ducts longer than 10
					 feet should have clean-out doors at 10 foot intervals, or should be so
					 constructed as to be easily taken apart for cleaning.
(2) To minimize the spread of fire, finished
					 products should be removed immediately from the vicinity of the spray booths or
					 from the room booths, regardless of location.
(3) The surfaces of all booths, after they
					 have been made clean and free from accumulations of sprayed materials, should
					 be greased and papered, or otherwise prepared so that they may be easily
					 cleaned.
(4) Spraying operations
					 should be located under smooth ceilings.
(5) For the spraying of materials containing
					 volatile solvents, there should be a separate exhaust duct for each
					 booth.
(6) Where plants at present
					 have three or more booths connected to a single exhaust fan they should,
					 whenever possible, change equipment to conform to this subchapter.
