Much of the focus of environmental, health and safety issues in the 1990’s centered on lead. No single hazard occupied the regulatory, public and media spotlight more than lead, and its impact was felt across the entire construction community. As lead fades from the spotlight, other potential hazards begin to emerge.

Much of the focus of environmental, health and safety issues in the 1990’s centered on lead. No single hazard occupied the regulatory, public and media spotlight more than lead, and its impact was felt across the entire construction community. As lead fades from the spotlight, other potential hazards begin to emerge. OSHA is considering a comprehensive health standard on hexavalent chromium, the American National Standards Institute is drafting a standard on Hearing Loss Prevention in Construction, EPA and state environmental agencies are focusing attention on asbestos on bridges. These and selected other emerging issues are briefly discussed to identify health and safety issues on the horizon that may impact painting contractors and facility owners. Much of the information is taken directly from the respective agency’s published regulatory agenda, supplemented by anecdotal information gathered from various professional journals, seminars and conferences. All issues are presented in the order of reported implementation date, with OSHA related activities discussed first, followed by EPA activities.

CP Shielding and Pipeline Coatings

Product Number: 41206-285-SG
Author: Greg Ruschau
Publication Date: 2006
$20.00

Shielding of cathodic protection (CP) by pipeline coatings poses a serious threat to pipeline integrity.  The difficulty in pipeline coating selection to avoid shielding is that the same properties that make a pipeline coating a good corrosion mitigation material can also lead to CP shielding. The key to proper coating selection is to select a coating that has the necessary properties to provide good corrosion protection but also one that, when disbondment and failure occurs, fails in such a way to allow effective cathodic protection.
