The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) was passed to protect workers from death or serious harm and requires employers to provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers. The Act created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which sets and enforces protective workplace safety and health standards.

The Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 (OSH Act) was passed to protect workers from death or serious harm and requires employers to provide their employees with working conditions that are free of known dangers. The Act created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), which sets and enforces protective workplace safety and health standards. OSHA also provides information, training and assistance to workers and employers. As a part of worker safety, OSHA develops National Emphasis Programs (NEPs) to focus inspections and outreach efforts on specific hazards in a workplace. In June 2013, OSHA announced an NEP for isocyanates. While first intended as an NEP on asthmagens (substances causally related to the development of asthma or asthma-like symptoms), this NEP is explicitly focused on workers that are involved in the application and use of isocyanates, with particular attention on work-related asthma, sensitization (respiratory and skin), and other occupational effects that may be caused by isocyanate exposure in the workplace. OSHA will use this NEP to combine enforcement and outreach efforts to raise the awareness of employers, workers, and safety and health professionals to the potential of deleterious health effects associated with occupational exposure to isocyanates. It is specified to be in effect for three years and OSHA Area Offices are required to conduct at least three inspections per year.

Preparation of Concrete for Rapid Coating Application

Because process shutdowns are expensive, it is desirable to speed up the turn-around time when applying protective coating systems on concrete. Rapid installation of surfacing materials on concrete can be problematical due to inadequate surface preparation, residual moisture, low surface tensile strength, and poor compatibility between the concrete substrate repair materials and the protective coating system.

In today’s protective coating industry, there is a growing demand to proportion and spray 100% solids coatings that are high viscosity and composed of materials that make them compressible during processing. Epoxy intumescent fireproofing is one such material that starts as compressible in the pail and becomes more compressible when heated and agitated under air pressure.
