Description and Operation

General instructions for the paint shop and handling paint materials

Hazardous areas in repair paint shops:

Danger from fires, explosions and hot surfaces.
Dangers to health and safety from the effects of harmful substances because of their
absorption through the skin and/or inhalation.
Dangers caused by electricity, compressed air, power tools and noise.

WARNING: During painting work there is an increased danger of fire or explosion.

Prevent any sparks being created. Fire, naked lights and smoking are forbidden.

Measures:

Wear protective footwear made from anti-static material.
Only use tools made of wood, brass or copper to clean stands and extraction ducts. Do
not use tools made of steel.

Only fill or decant paint materials in a specially marked area.

As well as these general instructions on the dangers in repair paint shops, all national and
international regulations must be observed:

Health and Safety at Work Act
Ordinance on Hazardous Substances
Technical Rules for Hazardous Substances
Regulations for the Prevention of Industrial Accidents
EU Directive on Hazardous Substances, 98/24/EU
EU Directive on Noise, 2003/10/EU
EU Directive on Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC), 1999/13/EU, 2001/81/EU,
2004/42/EU
Safety instructions of equipment and tool manufacturers

Personal protection

Besides the body and limbs, several organs vital to life are in very particular danger.
Because damage is mostly irreparable, special attention and comprehensive protection are
necessary.

WARNING: Solvents cause damage to the health through inhalation. Splashes in the

eyes or on the skin can cause bodily harm. When working with solvents, always use
suitable means of protection.

Breathing protection

During painting work and in the preparations for painting, gases, vapors, mists or dusts can
appear in dangerous concentrations in the areas where fellow employees breath.

For short periods of work or minimal concentrations of hazardous substances, breathing
protection devices with a combination filter are suitable as breathing protection equipment.

Description

Activated charcoal filter

Coarse filter

For higher concentrations of harmful substances, breathing protection devices which are
independent of the local atmosphere are suitable.

In these types of isolation systems, a compressed air hose carries natural air from the
compressor line into the protective mask. During supply, the air undergoes pressure
reduction, water removal, fine filtration and usually warming to natural breath temperature.

WARNING: Vapor or spray mist containing isocyanate as a paint base or hardener

can cause toxic respiratory disease (conditions similar to asthma) leading to permanent
damage, even when inhaled in the lowest concentrations.

Filter masks with wadding, sponge or colloid filters and also paper masks are all unsuitable
for working with coating materials because they do not stop solvent vapors.

The instructions for use provided by the manufacturer must be observed when working with
breathing protection equipment.

Skin protection

Spray painters who are subject to considerable exposure to coating materials must wear
suitable protective work clothing (flame-proof and anti-static).

NOTE: Also, when working with water based materials, comprehensive skin protection
must be worn, because these materials are very easily absorbed through the skin.

The protective clothing must be changed at the proper intervals. Items of clothing which
are contaminated with coating materials can easily catch fire.

When selecting protective clothing, it must be taken into account that cloth containing a
high proportion of easily melted plastic thread considerably increases the degree of burns
injury (melted plastic on the skin!). This must also be taken into account in the choice of
underwear.

For areas of skin which are not covered by protective clothing, suitable skin protection, skin
cleaning and skin care agents must be used.

Eye protection

Working with portable hand sanding machines on which the tools move unguarded, at
speed and with power is fundamentally dangerous.

Goggles must be worn not only when sanding, but also when working with paints and their
additives. These contain substances which are harmful to the eyes. Damage ranging from
irritation of the cornea to incurable illnesses are possible.

The protective goggles must be inert toward splashes of solvent, and fully enclose the areas
at the side of the eyes on both sides. The best protection during spray painting is offered by
full mask respirators or helmet respirators with a built-in visor.

Ear protection

Noise disturbance in repair paint shops caused by various sources is particularly high.
Sanding and compressed air machines, paint cabin extractor fans (compressors) and
extractor ducts in the work rooms are the causes of the high levels of noise.

WARNING: Avoid damage to your hearing! Wear ear protection.

Suitable ear protection is offered by ear plugs or ear defenders.
