Metal Spraying

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines safety measures for metal spraying processes (metallisation). Only trained personnel may perform these tasks, with all activities carried out in ventilated enclosures to manage hazardous fumes, noise, and glare. Pre-work requirements include assessing hazards, implementing fire controls, and ensuring workers use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE), such as welding goggles, gloves, and respiratory protection (P2 or PAPR). Noise protection (Class 4 or 5) is mandatory due to hazardous levels.

Operational risks include fire, burns from hot materials, exposure to UV light, and harmful dust or fumes. Measures such as explosion-proof equipment, fire extinguishers, and clean workspaces help mitigate risks. Health monitoring may be required for workers handling hazardous substances. Regular equipment checks, including gas cylinder storage and inspection of electrical tools, ensure safety. Following these protocols ensures compliance and minimizes risks during metal spraying tasks.
