29 CFR 1910.107(l)(4)(i): All areas shall be kept free of the accumulation of powder coating dusts, particularly such horizontal surfaces as ledges, beams, pipes, hoods, booths, and floors. a.

Accumulated fugitive dust was also observed on pipes, walls, floors, berms, handrails, edges, beams, booths, oven, conveyor and stored materials in the powder coating booth area.
