On November 4, 1993, OSHA’s Lead in Construction Standard became the law of the land. Initially, (and to some extent today) the small residential contractor community reacted with complete outrage due to marketability fears, many claiming that they would simply stop working on “old houses.” Industrial contractors along with the larger residential and commercial contractors often at first ignored or complied in a lackadaisical manner with these laws, continuing to work “as it’s always been done.”
Most companies involved in abrasive blasting are familiar with this iconic illustration, which shows the components of an abrasive-blast equipment set up. In this article, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) regulations pertaining to each component are given.
Keeping track of the constantly evolving Architectural and Industrial Maintenance (AIM) regulations in the United States is a daunting task. Forecasting what these regulations might like in the future is even more difficult. However, both are important given concerns over compliance and green product formulations. The following is a historical perspective of why the VOC content of AIM products is regulated, overview of current regulations and a 5-year forecast of AIM regulations in the US.
The Farm Security and Rural Investment Act of 2002 (FSRIA) and the Food, Conservation and energy Act of 2008 (FCEA) established the BioPreferred Program which requires Federal agencies o give preference to biobased products when making purchases.
In California, local air districts have regulations that limit the volatile organic compound (VOC) content of architectural coatings. The California Air Resources Board (ARB) provides assistance to local districts when developing regulations. This assistance includes developing Suggested Control Measures which serve as model rules for local districts. ARB also provides assistance by conducting periodic surveys of coating manufacturers to gather data on all of the architectural coatings sold in California during a particular year.
The current National Ambient Air Quality Standards (40 CFR parts 50, 51, 53 and 58) for lead were published in 1978 to protect the public from the adverse health effects caused by lead. On May 20, 2008 the EPA published proposed changes to the NAAQS for lead; the final rule was published on October 15, 2008. These changes will affect the ambient air monitoring protocols required on industrial painting projects. This paper will focus on the practicalities of obtaining valid data from TSP-lead air monitors.
This NACE best-seller is based on the authors' course, The Corrosion & Protection of Metals. This edition of this classic text is based on notes used by the authors for more than a decade in their course, The Corrosion and Protection of Metals. The authors emphasize the engineering aspects of corrosion and its control in ways that will be helpful to the practicing engineer. Topics covered include corrosion economics, detecting and monitoring corrosion, regulations, specifications, safety, and the selection and use of materials, with special emphasis on stainless steels. 1995 NACE E-BOOK
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.
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.
This paper identifies the problems with large multi-year painting projects and discusses the benefit to Facility Owners and Contractors for breaking a large bridge project into smaller phases. It will also discuss factors that determine the optimum size, large or small, of a painting project and their impacts. The size of a project will be analyzed from the standpoint of money, time, insurance, bonding, manpower, inspection, management, bridge inventory and job quality.
Global Environmental Regulations have driven many coatings developments over the last decades. Today´s regulations around worker safety and environment protection are seen as important drivers in new product development. More recently such regulations are spreading widely, as people want to live on a planet where everyone can enjoy a better quality of life, breathe clean air, where rivers and oceans are preserved, and the impact of humans on wildlife is reduced.
