Precautions

PRECAUTIONS

Paint

The inhalation of sprays, fumes, or dust during paint application or sanding processes should always be avoided. Ensure that there is efficient ventilation / extraction at all times. Paint spraying should be confined as far as possible to spray booths. Personnel with a history of asthma should not be employed in any process involving the use of isocyanates. Operators working in a spray booth where isocyanate material is present must use air-fed breathing equipment with air supplied to the visor at the recommended pressure and filtered to remove oil, water, and fumes. Operators involved in handling mixing or spraying should wear protective clothing including gloves and goggles, to avoid skin and eye contact. Particle masks or canister type respirators should be worn when sanding.

Applied Heat

When welding, flame cutting, brazing etc, the operator should use as appropriate, goggles, mask / fume extractor and flameproof protective clothing. It is especially important when working with polyurethane compounds to use air-fed breathing equipment. Appropriate fire fighting equipment and personnel trained in its use must always be available.

Metal Repair

Appropriate eye and hand protection should be worn when sanding, drilling, cutting, chiselling, flatting or welding. Face masks or air-fed visors should also be worn when sanding or flatting either body solder or fillers. On completion of a soldering operation, swarf must be removed from the work area and the operator must wash his hands thoroughly.
