Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe practices for powder coating, emphasizing the importance of training, proper equipment use, and compliance with safety standards. All personnel must be trained and authorized to use powder coating equipment. Electrical circuits must be fault-protected, and SDS for all chemicals used in cleaning, surface preparation, and coating processes must be accessible.

Key precautions include storing powders in cool, dry areas, using well-ventilated spray booths, and ensuring PPE, such as Tyvek® suits, gloves, respirators, and eye protection, is worn. Conveyor systems must be maintained, with adequate spacing for safe handling, and moving parts must be guarded. Curing ovens and hot surfaces require barrier guards to prevent burns. Waste management protocols involve using HEPA vacuum cleaners for cleanup, avoiding compressed air, and adhering to environmental disposal guidelines for powders and chemicals. Following these measures ensures safety and environmental compliance during powder coating operations.
