Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe practices for paint mixing and tinting operations, emphasizing safety when handling solvent-based paints and hazardous chemicals. Only authorized and trained personnel may perform these tasks. Adequate ventilation must be maintained, and ignition sources eliminated in areas where flammable liquids are present. A fire extinguisher and spill kit must be readily available, and all spills cleaned up promptly to prevent slips and contamination.

Key operational guidelines include ensuring all moving parts are covered with guards, using interlock switches to shut off mixers when guards are open, and securing packages before mixing. PPE such as eye protection, gloves, and aprons must be worn to prevent exposure to chemicals and physical injuries. Manual handling precautions include correct lifting techniques and securing packages with metal clamps to avoid strain or injury. Following these protocols ensures safety and compliance during paint mixing operations.
