monitors and CO alarms are required to
be installed within the system to monitor
the quality of the air and warn the user
when excessive levels of CO are present.
Compressors should have high-temperature
alarms that sound when the unit is overheat-
ing, since overheating can produce CO.
The use of respirators is common,
but for them to be effective and safe, the
user must be tested for respirator fit and
pulmonary function. A respirator fit test
performed by a competent professional will
ensure that the user is wearing the correct
size and type of respirator for the task. Every
face is different and each user needs the best
fit available to keep out harmful vapors and
particulates. A pulmonary function test is
performed to ensure the individual has the
lung capacity to breathe through a respira-
tor. Cases are documented where deaths
are caused by breathing difficulty and resis-
tance during respirator use.
Hoses should always be in good condi-
tion and free of holes, dry rot, and weak
areas. Paint lines should be rated for the
pressures they carry, and fittings should
be checked for tightness prior to each use.
Air hoses should be used in combination
with whip checks and safety pins. Gaskets
need to be checked regularly during a visual
inspection prior to use. Since air hoses and
paint lines are used in combination with
valves, valves should be checked to ensure
they have handles in good condition and
function properly.

baskets should be properly designed and

are required before lifting personnel, and
cranes should never be in motion (travel-
ing) when personnel are inside baskets at
elevated heights.
Most companies have a written safety
policy specific to the work they perform.
Workers should ensure that their company
has a policy that addresses the hazards
associated with blasting and painting since
some of the risks are unique to this trade.
If a policy does not exist, then the worker
should put the employer on notice and
assist with its development. Finally, policies
are not worth the paper they are printed
on if they don’t have the full support of
upper management and are not enforced.
Support from upper management is key
and the workers’ safety observations and
actions will make or break the program.
Much is to be gained by having and follow-
ing a solid safety policy. A company with
a good safety record is the company that
continually secures the coating contracts.
More importantly, the risk to the workforce
is minimized, the employer and employee
are less likely to suffer the financial conse-
quences of injury or death, and everyone can
go home at the end of their shift and enjoy
family or hobbies. The family members will
be thankful for that! !
