Handling hazardous substances
Heated paint
When heated, paint gives off poisonous gases. Therefore, the
paint must be removed from an area of at least 10 cm (4 in) from
the spot where welding, grinding or gas cutting is to be carried out.
In addition to the health hazard, the weld will be of inferior quality
and strength, which, in the future, may cause the weld to break.
Methods and precautionary measures when removing paint
Q Blasting
use respirator and protective goggles
Q Paint remover or other chemicals
use a portable air extractor, respirator and protective
gloves
Q Grinding machine
use a portable air extractor, respirator and protective
gloves and protective goggles
Painted parts that have been discarded must never be burnt. They
must be taken care of by an approved refuse handling plant.
Rubber and plastics which have been heated
Polymer materials can, when heated, form compounds which are
dangerous to health and environment and must therefore never be
burned when scrapped.
If gas cutting or welding is to be carried out near such
materials, the following safety instructions must be followed:
Protect the material from heat.
Use protective gloves, protective goggles and an approved
respirator.
WARNING!
All paint decomposes when heated and forms compounds,
which may cause irritation and in case of prolonged or
repeated exposure be very health-impairing.
