Painting Work

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safety measures for painting tasks, including handling chemical-based paints and working at heights. Workers must follow the manufacturer’s precautions, consult current SDS for all chemicals, and ensure the SDS is less than five years old. For high-risk construction work, a Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) is required.

Key procedures include conducting site hazard inspections, using ventilation for thinners-based paints, and wearing appropriate PPE such as respirators, eye and hand protection, and hearing protection. For outdoor work, measures include wearing UV-protective clothing and sunscreen and assessing weather conditions. Tools and spills must be managed to prevent environmental contamination, with all waste thinners and paints disposed of at approved facilities. Scaffolds and ladders used for elevated tasks require compliance with fall prevention standards. These protocols ensure safe and compliant painting practices.
