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, EN 16985.)
Operators must be grounded. Grounding straps on wrists or
legs may be used to assure adequate ground contact.
Footware to be used by operator shall comply with EN ISO 20344,
resistance not to exceed 100 Meg Ohm. Protective clothing
including gloves should comply with EN 1149-5, resistance not to
exceed 100 Meg Ohm.
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, EN 16985 OR SPECIFIC COUN-
TRY 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 or applicable county code.
Unless specifically approved for use in hazardous locations,
all electrical equipment must be located outside or applicable
country code, 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.
