Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 004D Hazard:
29 CFR 1910.107(i)(3): Equipment approval and specifications. Electrostatic hand spray apparatus and devices used in connection with coating operations shall be of approved types. The high voltage circuits shall be designed so as to not produce a spark of sufficient intensity to ignite any vapor-air mixtures nor result in appreciable shock hazard upon coming in contact with a grounded object under all normal operating conditions. The electrostatically charged exposed elements of the handgun shall be capable of being energized only by a switch which also controls the coating material supply. a. On or about April 1, 2013, in the touch up powder coating area(s), ordinary (non-approved) wiring and associated electrostatic hand spraying equipment was located inside the spray area(s). Employees were exposed to electrical hazards when the non approved wiring and electrostatic hand spraying equipment was used in an area where combustible dust was transferred and could result in a spark being generated in a combustible atmosphere resulting in a fire/explosion hazard.
