10. Employees should not work on electrostatic equipment while the voltage is applied. Fail-safe
photoelectric or body-capacitance safety controls or their equivalent safeguards should be installed
as to ensure the power supply will shut down should a person approach the equipment while in
operation.
11. A red warning light should be conspicuously mounted on the spray booth or control panel to
indicate when the high voltage is enabled.
1.11.1 Manual Electrostatic Systems
In addition to the above criteria, the use of manual electrostatic spraying equipment requires additional
measures to protect personnel using an electrostatic hand applicator.
1. Electrostatic hand spray devices should be of the approved type and be designed to be intrinsically
safe and not produce a spark of any sufficient energy to ignite vapor-air or powder-air mixtures nor
result in an appreciable shock hazard upon contact with a grounded surface.
2. The electrostatically charged elements of the handgun should be designed so they can be
energized only by the switch which also controls the material supply.
3. The handle of the gun should be secured to ground by a metallic connection in order to prevent a
build-up of static charge on the operator.
4. The electrostatic hand spraying equipment and system should be designed so the maximum
surface temperature of any object in the spraying area will not exceed 150 degrees Fahrenheit
under any condition.
5. All electrically conductive objects in the spraying area, including paint, solvent containers, work
carts and wash cans, etc., should be adequately grounded and posted with warning signs
indicating the necessity for grounding.
