I would appreciate it greatly if anyone could give some direction on this subject. It is an area that is unfamiliar to me and I need to get up to speed asap.

Hi Sean,

These are a few documents which may be able to help you:-

- An introduction to Local Exhaust Ventilation ISBN 071761001
- The selection, use and maintenance of respiratory protective equipment ISBN 0717615375
- Safety in motor vehicle repair ISBN 071762756X
- Maintenance, examination and testing of LEV ISBN 0717614859

COSHH Essentials also has some useful guidance on working with spray paints (ISBN 0717627373) it will also help you with COSHH assessments.

If you go to the HSE Books website and carry out a search for the ISBN numbers, it should bring them straight up for you. Some of these are free and some are priced.

You may or may not know that if you use 2tones of wet paint per year you will probably come under the environmental regulations. If I remember correctly it is EPA 90. You will need to check with the local council.

Do not forget DSEAR. Creating an explosive atmosphere and controlling ignition sources. Look on the HSE enforcement notice website to see just how many body shops and garages have been caught out by this one.
