Posted By George S Darmanin Hi all, We provide dark blue overalls to our spray painters. The painters complain that the 'uniform' should be white for health & safety reasons. Is there a real reason or am I missing something? Regards to all George S

Posted By Brian Hagyard George I am no spray painting expert, but it was my understanding that the biggest risk was from the isocyanate hardener's in the paint, which can cause desensitisation by inhalation and skin contact and while I believe companies are moving away from these products there's still a lot about. If there is a chance of contamination of the overalls from the paint the advantage of white is it shows up quicker than other colours (unless they are spraying white of course)and could show you your sloppy painters. I appreciate for anyone using isocyanate paints and spray booths there is a whole host of requirements on exhaust ventilation and health surveillance and I do not know of any specific advice on colour it may not be as bonkers conkers as it first sounds - or as I already said I am no expert in spray painting so this could be complete drivel!
