When preparing components for painting or finishing, or even when cleaning structures, there are a number of risks that you need to watch for. Various factors come into play:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What types of particles are released from your surface treatment processes \u2013 a combination of substrates and abrasives?<\/li>\n<li>Are there any deflagration risks associated with your processes? Do they produce dusts containing\u00a0explosive metals, like aluminium?<\/li>\n<li>Do you have capture, transporting and collection measures in place tailored to blasting dust (e.g. a blast booth dust collector or a sandblaster dust extractor)?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"color: #9c1c20;text-align: left\" class=\"vc_custom_heading vc_do_custom_heading title\" >Abrasive Blasting: Protecting Workers\u2019 Health!<\/h2>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element wpb_animate_when_almost_visible wpb_bounceInRight bounceInRight\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"uk-width-large-1-2\">\n<p>Whether you use abrasives like sand or crushed walnut shells, minerals (aluminum or silica oxides) or metallic shot (aluminum or steel), you must protect your\u00a0<a title=\"\" href=\"\/en\/media-centre\/309-how-to-protect-workers-breathing-zone\">workers\u2019 breathing zone<\/a>\u00a0and control the risks of fire and explosion.<\/p>\n<p>The dust collection challenge with abrasive blasting is to select a collection system that can handle the materials released from the substrates and abrasives\u2026 a considerable volume of particles! These abrasives alone account for up to 95% of the amount taken in. The remaining 5% is from the material that is blasted. These fine dusts can be potentially harmful and highly explosive.<\/p>\n<p>Another issue with abrasive blasting is managing to ensure safe visibility for your blasting personnel, who are often in airtight booths, completely covered in a protective work suit. To do so, the environment must meet the air change requirements: it must remain below the workers\u2019 vision obstruction threshold.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"panel-group panel-icon-plus panel-icon-align-default panel-shape-square\" id=\"accordion-0\" role=\"tablist\" aria-multiselectable=\"true\"><div class=\"panel\" style=\"\"><div class=\"panel-heading\" role=\"tab\" id=\"acc-heading-1453278520348-82ca7492-26b767f7-73e6\"><h4 class=\"panel-title text-default small-margin\"><a data-parent=\"#accordion-0\" class=\"\" role=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#acc-1453278520348-82ca7492-26b767f7-73e6\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-controls=\"acc-1453278520348-82ca7492-26b767f7-73e6\"><span>How Can You Reduce The Risks Associated With Abrasive Blasting?<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div><div id=\"acc-1453278520348-82ca7492-26b767f7-73e6\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"acc-heading-1453278520348-82ca7492-26b767f7-73e6\"><div class=\"panel-body\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1730754687427\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>The design of a dust capture, transporting and collection system must factor in the requirements pertaining to fire, explosion, corrosion and toxicity. For example, due to friction, abrasives and some metal components can create an\u00a0exothermic reaction\u00a0and ignite. One solution for reducing those risks would be to use dilution techniques to cool the air. You could also opt for\u00a0<a href=\"\/en\/products\/environmental-control-solution\/air-shower\/\">air showers<\/a>\u00a0as a safe decontamination solution for the workers.
