Abrasive blasting operations used for paint and surface coatings removal are essential for the maintenance of the ships, aircraft, and land vehicles of the United States Armed Forces as well as use industries such as oil & gas, power generation, construction, mining, and infrastructure, among others. Abrasive blasting nozzle design is rudimentary and noise levels produced during abrasive blasting operations in shipyards, maintenance facilities, and factories for removing paint and surface coatings often exceed exposure limits put in place by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Reducing a worker's occupational noise exposure is imperative from a safety and economics perspective.

For almost two decades, organizations supporting the ironworker’s industry have sought constructive solutions to improve the footing for ironworkers during erection of structural steel. This issue, specifically as it relates to the coatings industry, is the loss of traction between the ironworker’s footwear and the coated steel beam, and the potential for the worker of falling to their death as a result of slipping on wet or damp coated steel beam surfaces.
Corrosion under insulation represents a real threat not just to the assets used in heavy industry / Oil & Gas but also to life. This has been demonstrated through the years with millions of dollars of lost assets/production and unfortunately injuries and deaths. For this reason there have been many documents which have providing guidance not only for design of equipment against CUI but also the pre-qualification/testing of coating systems.
It is well known that fall hazards are one of the most common causes of accidents, injuries and death in the workplace including industrial painting projects. Many of these falls occur when using ladders. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, for example, in 2009 20% of fatal falls in all workplaces were from ladders. OSHA estimates that there are 24,882 injures, with nearly half of those injuries serious enough to result in lost work time, and 36 fatalities every year.
The topic of lead is as relevant today as it has ever been.
This paper addresses two recent regulatory actions regarding lead. The first is the October 15, 2008 revision to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for Lead. The second regulation is the August 14, 2008 update to the OSHA Instruction: National Emphasis Program – Lead, which describes OSHA’s nation-wide emphasis on reducing occupational lead exposures. The authors will overview the regulatory actions and discuss potential impacts on the painting industry.
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.
This annual paper summarizes environmental, health and safety issues that may impact SSPC members. This paper discusses current and expected regulatory rulemaking, emphasis programs, enforcement initiatives or other similar topics.
This paper takes a look at emerging environmental, health and safety issues that may impact painting contactors and facility owners. Specific topics include OSHA’s proposed revisions to the Hazard Communications standard, updated information on silica and hexavalent chromium, and expected rule making in 2010. Additionally, information will be provided on EPA regulatory actions related to NAAQS Lead and PM2.5 and other EPA regulations. 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.
This annual paper summarizes and tracks environmental, health and safety issues that may impact painting contactors and facility owners. This paper summarizes regulatory, and enforcement develops in the current year and reviews expected rulemaking for the coming year.
This paper takes a look at emerging environmental, health and safety issues that may impact painting contactors and facility owners. Specific topics include OSHA’s hexavalent chromium standard, recent rulings related to multi-employer worksite policy and OSHA’s use of threshold limit values (TLVs®).
