Full consideration of CoSHH If solvent based paints are used - then full consideration of DSEAR/ATEX Fire safety

quote=JJ Prendergast]Full consideration of CoSHH If solvent based paints are used - then full consideration of DSEAR/ATEX Fire safety

Several good areas of reference documentation and information can be found on the HSE web site i.e. indg388 Safety in motor vehicle repair, MR1 Mixing two-pack (2K) paint containing isocyanate, MR2 Spraying two-pack (2K) products in a spray booth or room, MR3 Cleaning two-pack (2K) paint spray guns, MR4 Brush or roller application of two-pack (2K) products and MR5 SMART spraying with two-pack (2K) products etc, depending on your circumstances these can be used as a basis for your risk assessment checking that you meet the requirements outlined. Assuming that your painters are already being biologically monitored for isocyanates, the paint booth and equipment is maintained in accordance with manufacturers recommendations and instructions, the paint sprayers have received adequate instruction and training in its use, COSHH and DSEAR assessments are in place, sufficient PPE is supplied and is being used correctly and there are documented records of all the above then you should be ok. Hope this helps
