Slip hazard
Powder lying on the floor around the powder spraying equipment is a
potentially dangerous source of slipping. Booths may be entered only
in the places suitable for it.
Static charges
Static charges can have the following consequences: Charges to people,
electric shocks, sparking. Proper grounding must be in place to prevent
objects from becoming charged.
Grounding
Observe the grounding
regulations
All electrically conductive parts found in the workplace of 5 meters
around each booth opening, and particularly the objects to be coated,
have to be grounded. The grounding resistance of each object must
amount to maximally 1 MOhm. This resistance must be checked/tested
regularly when starting work.
The condition of the work piece attachments, as well as the hangers,
must guarantee that the work pieces remain grounded. The
appropriate measuring devices must be kept ready in the workplace, in
order to check the grounding.
The floor of the coating area must conduct electricity (normal concrete
is generally conductive).
The supplied grounding cable (green/yellow) must be connected to the
grounding screw of the electrostatic manual powder coating
equipment. The grounding cable must have a good metallic connection
with the coating booth, the recovery unit and the conveyor chain,
respectively with the suspension arrangement of the objects.
Smoking and open flames
Fire and smoke
prohibition
Smoking and igniting fire are forbidden in the entire vicinity of the
system! No work that could potentially produce sparks is allowed!
Stay for persons with cardiac pacemakers
The stay for persons
with cardiac
pacemakers is forbidden
As a general rule for all powder spraying installations, persons with
pacemakers should never enter high voltage areas or areas with
electromagnetic fields. Persons with pacemakers should not enter
areas with powder spraying installations!
