HAZARD
RISK TO BREATHING (ASPHYXIATION)
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
•
The compressed air directly from
your compressor is not safe for
breathing. The air stream may con-
tain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors,
or solid particles from the air tank.
Breathing these contaminant's can
cause serious injury or death.
•
Air obtained directly from the com-
pressor should never be used to
supply air for human consumption.
In order to use air produced by this
compressor for breathing, suitable
filters and in-line safety equipment
must be properly installed. In-line
filters and safety equipment used
in conjunction with the compressor
must be capable of treating air to all
applicable local and federal codes
prior to human consumption.
•
Sprayed materials such as paint,
paint solvents, paint remover, insec-
ticides, weed killers, may contain
harmful vapors and poisons.
•
Work in an area with good cross
ventilation. Read and follow the
safety instructions provided on the
label or safety data sheets for the
materials you are spraying. Always
use certified safety equipment:
OSHA/MSHA/NIOSH respiratory
protection designed for use with
your specific application.
