Physical Hazards 

Never look directly into the spray gun fluid tip. Serious injury or death can result.  

Never aim the spray gun at or near another person. Serious injury or death can result.  

Chemical compounds can be severely irritating to the eyes and skin. 

Inhalation, ingestion, or injection may damage internal organs and lead to pulmonary disorders, cancers, 
lymphomas, and other diseases or health conditions. 

Other potential health effects include: irritation of the eyes and upper respiratory tract, headache, light-
headedness, dizziness, confusion, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, and occasionally abdominal pain. 

Eye contact: Immediately flush with water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. 

Skin Contact: Immediately wash with soap and water and seek immediate medical attention. 

Inhalation: Move the person to fresh air and seek immediate medical attention. 

Do not remove shields, covers, or safety features on equipment that is in use.  

Never place fingers, hands, or any body part near or directly in front of the spray gun fluid tip. The force 
of the liquid as it exits the spray tip can shoot liquid through the skin.  

Keep hands and body parts away from any moving equipment or components.  

Do not stand under plunger 

An improperly loaded drum may lead to an imbalance, causing a unit to tip over 

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) 

MVP recommends the use of personal safety equipment with all products in our catalog.  

Wear safety goggles, hearing protection, a respirator, and chemical resistant gloves. 

Wear long sleeve shirts or jackets and pants to minimize skin exposure. 

PPE should be worn by operators and service technicians to reduce the risk of injury.  

For Additional information, contact the Occupational Safety and Health Administration 
(OSHA).
