HAZARD
Tells what the hazard is.
Electrical Discharge
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.
SAFEGUARDS
Tells how to avoid the hazard.
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.
