The job hazard analysis
PPE required: Safety glasses, Gloves, Safety boots, Respirator or mask
1. Check the product and the space
What could go wrong
Fumes in enclosed areas; ignition sources
How we control it
Read the SDS. Remove ignition sources. Ventilate the area.
2. Choose PPE
What could go wrong
Breathing vapor; skin contact
How we control it
Use the respirator the SDS says, and make sure it fits. Wear gloves and eye protection.
3. Apply
What could go wrong
Spray in the eyes; slips
How we control it
Keep the work area clear of others. Use drop cloths that don't slip. Don't eat or drink in the area.
4. Clean up and dispose
What could go wrong
Fire from rags; spills
How we control it
Store oily rags as your rules say, usually in a closed metal container. Dispose of waste properly.
- Some rags used with certain oils can heat up and ignite on their own. Follow the label.
When to use it
Use it for any coating that carries a ventilation or respirator warning on its label.
Review it with the crew before the work starts, change anything that doesn't match how you'll do the job, and update it when the method, the equipment, or the site changes.
