The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) defines abrasive blasting as “using compressed air or water to direct a high-velocity stream of an abrasive material to clean an object or surface, remove burrs, apply a texture or prepare a surface for the application of paint or other type of coating.” OSHA regulations governing General Industry, Construction, and Shipyards mandate the use of abrasive-blast respirators approved by the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). Blast respirators are Type-CE supplied-air respirators, commonly known as “blast helmets.” This article will review and explain the components and the requirements pertaining to the use of these respirators.
The purpose of this article is to attempt to provide the reader a basic understanding of the minimum standard in providing a safe work environment for their employees and the general public when using open-air Abrasive Blasting equipment.
