Spray Area /
High Voltage
Equipment
There is a high voltage device
that can induce an electrical
charge on ungrounded objects
which is capable of igniting
coating materials.
Inadequate grounding will
cause a spark hazard. A
spark can ignite many coating
materials and cause a fire
or explosion.
Parts being sprayed and operators in the spray
area must be properly grounded.
Parts being sprayed must be supported
on conveyors or hangers that are properly
grounded. The resistance between the part
and earth ground must not exceed 1 meg ohm.
(Refer to NFPA-33.)
Operators must be grounded. Rubber
soled insulating shoes should not be worn.
Grounding straps on wrists or legs may be
used to assure adequate ground contact.
Operators must not be wearing or carrying any
ungrounded metal objects.
When using an electrostatic handgun, operators
must assure contact with the handle of the
applicator via conductive gloves or gloves with
the palm section cut out.
NOTE: REFER TO NFPA-33 OR SPECIFIC
COUNTRY SAFETY CODES REGARDING
PROPER OPERATOR GROUNDING.
All electrically conductive objects in the spray
area, with the exception of those objects
required by the process to be at high voltage,
must be grounded. Grounded conductive
flooring must be provided in the spray area.
Always turn off the power supply prior to
flushing, cleaning, or working on spray system
equipment.
Unless specifically approved for use in
hazardous locations, all electrical equipment
must be located
outside
Class I or II, Division
1 or 2 hazardous areas, in accordance with
NFPA-33.
Avoid installing an applicator into a fluid system
where the solvent supply is ungrounded.
Do not touch the applicator electrode while it
is energized.
