responsibility of those who use such processes and those who operate the equipment.
This manual outlines procedures to be followed in conducting polyester operations
safety. This system has been specifically designed for use of Polyester Resin, Gel-Coat,

danger nor foresee every circumstance that might cause an injury during equipment
operation. Some risks, such as the high pressure liquid stream that exits the spray tip,
are inherent to the nature of the machine operation and are necessary to the process in
order to manufacture the end-product. For this reason, ALL personnel involved in
polyester operations should read and understand the Safety Manual. It is very important
