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
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 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.
