Health and Safety Precautions

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.

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.

Environmental Regulations

Waste disposal in the repair paint shop

More than ever before, since the introduction of
EU directives, rigorous attention is paid to the
avoidance of waste materials and to recycling in
repair paint shops. In this respect, repair paint
shops must take into account and comply with the
following requirements:

• Separate waste according to its recycling and

disposal methods.

• Produce evidence for the correct transport and

disposal of waste.

NOTE: The organization of disposal in the plant
must comply with the requirements of the Waste
Avoidance and Management Act: The avoidance
and recycling of waste must always take priority.

However, despite all measures which may be
taken, waste cannot be completely avoided.

NOTE: Waste which is not allowed in household
rubbish, and which can no longer be utilized, must
be disposed of as special waste.

Paint residues containing solvent, application
residues, sanding dust, waste containing peroxides,
solvents, soiled cleaning cloths and paint slurry all
count as special waste. Each of these must be
collected in a separate, sealed and suitably labeled
metal container and properly disposed of using a
specialist company.

Careful separation allows some waste to be
usefully re-used.

• Empty metal containers can be sent for scrap

instead of being disposed of as waste.

• Contaminated cleaning thinners can be

separated by distillation.

• Packing material and masking paper can be

added to the recycled paper collection.

Residues which cannot be used must be correctly
disposed of.

All remaining waste must be treated as commercial
waste and disposed of according to the local
regulations.

The new VOC (Volatile Organic
Compounds) solvent regulation

Keeping the air clean protects the environment and
the population from the heath-damaging effects of
air pollutants.

In certain atmospheric conditions, volatile organic
compounds contribute to summer smog.

NOTE: For comprehensive information, please
refer to the European VOC Directive, 1999/13/EU.
Furthermore, the effective national regulations must
be complied with.

The European VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds)
Directive has controlled the limits for such
compounds since August 2001. It applies to
production coating companies and those which
undertake repair painting of private and commercial
vehicles.

Not least because of the VOC legislation, modern,
low solvent and solvent-free lacquers and paints
are finding greatly increased distribution across
industry and the trade. Up to the year 2007,
emissions from painting work will drop by at least
40%.

At the same time, the paint manufacturers
guarantee for example that they will produce a
ready-to-spray product consisting of base paint +
hardener + thinners, with a permitted VOC level.

A company in business today can conform with the
stipulated requirements by introducing water-based
paints and using the other necessary products from
the relevant paint manufacturers.

For more detailed information, please refer to the
EU VOC Directive.
