All personnel MUST read and understand the
following Ransburg Safety Publications:
IL-247: Operating Your Electrostatic Coating System
Safely SL-77-01: Personnel Grounding
Ransburg also suggests that all personnel read the
HEW publication "Spray Painting: Good Practices for
Employees", number (NIOSH) 78-178 available from
the regional NIOSH office or the U.S. Government
Printing Office.
NIOSH and OSHA regional offices can provide
information on OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND
HEALTH ACT, including questions on standards
interpretations, voluntary compliance information,
copies of the OSHA Standards, OSHA Act, Employee
Rights Posting Notice and Publications.
Personnel
• All personnel should read and understand local
codes, appropriate NFPA bulletins, OSHA Act of
1970, and this service manual.
• Personnel working in the spray area MUST be
adequately grounded. Insulated shoes such as
rubber, composition, or cork soles should NOT
be worn unless an alternate grounding method
is provided. (See Ransburg Bulletin SL-77-01,
"Personnel Grounding".)
• Personnel working on applicators MUST always
be sure that the high voltage is off, the rotator has
stopped and that the grounding hook has been
properly secured to the motor housing.
Parts
• Articles being painted MUST be grounded at
ALL times. Paint MUST NEVER be permitted to
accumulate on workholders, particularly on points
where workholders touch conveyor. Hooks MUST
be clean to ensure proper contact. It is advisable to
have extra sets of workholders to enable cleaning of
the sets not being used at regular intervals. Areas
of hanger contact should be sharp points or edges
where possible.
• All electrically conductive objects within the
spray area (including spray booth, paint tank, and
conveyor) MUST BE GROUNDED. This requirement
applies to the solvent safety container, paint
containers, wash cans, and all other objects in the
area.
Ventilation
We recommend interlocking the ventilation with the
spraying equipment to ensure proper ventilation
when equipment is in operation. See NFPA Bulletin
No. 33.
Housekeeping
• Good housekeeping is essential to safe operation.
Clean-up and maintenance schedules should be
established by the user, based on observations of
the initial production operations. Maintenance and
safety cards should be posted in clear view of the
operator.
• Normal fire protection measures are required.
These include proper storage of paints, solvents,
and waste, plus ready access to fire extinguishing
equipment. For details, consult NFPA Bulletins No.
30, 33, 70 and 77, your local fire codes, local paint
equipment standards, OSHA Act of 1970, and your
insurance carrier’s recommendations.
Floor Covering and Masking
If it is necessary to cover booth flooring, Ransburg
suggests that the user employ a material which will
NOT support combustion, such as Spark Gard Grade
BWA-100.
