General Safety
Cumulative Trauma disorders Use of hand tools may cause cumulative trauma
disorders ("CTD's").
("CTD's")
CTD's, when using hand tools, tend to affect the upper
CTD's, or musculoskeletal
disorders, involve damage extremities. Factors which may increase the risk of
developing a CTD include:
to the hands, wrists, elbow,
shoulders, neck and back.
1. High frequency of the activity.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
2. Excessive force, such as gripping, pinching,
and tendonitis (such as
tennis elbow or rotator
3. Extreme or awkward finger, wrist, or
cuff syndrome) are examples
of CTD's.
4. Excessive duration of the activity.
5. Tool vibration.
6. Repeated pressure on a body part.
7. Working in cold temperatures.
CTD's can also be caused by such activities as sewing,
golf, tennis, and bowling, to name a few.

CAUTION
SAFEGUARDS
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep air free of accumulations of
flammable vapours.
Smoking must never be allowed in the spray area.
Fire extinguishing equipment must be present in the spray area.
Wear eye protection.
Follow the requirements of the Safety Data Sheet supplied by your coating
material manufacturer.
Adequate exhaust must be provided to keep the air free of accumulations of
toxic materials.
Use a mask or respirator whenever there is a chance of inhaling sprayed
materials. The mask must be compatible with the material being sprayed and
its concentration. Equipment must be as prescribed by an industrial hygienist or
safety expert, and be NIOSH approved.
Guns with stainless steel internal passageways may be used with these
solvents. However, aluminium is widely used in other spray application
equipment – such as material pumps, regulators, valves, and cups. Check all
equipment items before use and make sure they can also be used safely with
these solvents. Read the label or data sheet for the material you intend to spray.
If in doubt as to whether or not a coating or cleaning material is compatible,
contact your material supplier.
Operators should be given adequate training in the safe use and maintenance
of the equipment (in accordance with the requirements of NFPA-33, Chapter
15). Users must comply with all local and national codes of practice and
insurance company requirements governing ventilation, fire precautions,
operation, maintenance, and housekeeping. These are OSHA Sections 1910.94
and 1910.107 and NFPA-33.
Pain, tingling, or numbness in the shoulder, forearm, wrist, hands, or fingers,
especially during the night, may be early symptoms of a CTD. Do not ignore
them. Should you experience any such symptoms, see a physician immediately.
Other early symptoms may include vague discomfort in the hand, loss of
manual dexterity, and nonspecific pain in the arm. Ignoring early symptoms
and continued repetitive use of the arm, wrist, and hand can lead to serious
disability. Risk is reduced by avoiding or lessening factors 1-7.
