Spray painting and powder coating metal surfaces can generate potentially hazardous fumes and gases.\u00a0In some situations,\u00a0combustible metals\u00a0come into play. Here are some things to think about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>In your plant, what materials are hazardous to the health of workers?<\/li>\n<li>Could the gases, dust, molten metals or sparks cause explosions? How do you reduce the risk?<\/li>\n<li>Does process automation increase or decrease risk?<\/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\" >Metal Transformation: 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<p>Cutting operations in metalworking release\u00a0<a href=\"\/en\/media-centre\/307-occupational-respiratory-diseases-avoid-biting-the-dust\">harmful air particles<\/a>, fumes and gases. For example, zinc, lead, beryllium, cadmium, manganese, nickel and chromium are listed as potential aggressors by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and CNESST. Hexavalent chromium dust (chromium VI) is also very harmful, affecting the lungs, stomach, liver and several vital organs. This carcinogen is one of the six hazardous substances listed in the European RoHS Directive (2002).<\/p>\n<p>Welding sparks can also cause explosions or fires if dust collection is not adequate. Is process automation a safer solution? Not necessarily. As the rate of production increases, the volume of particles to be captured \u2013 and the risks \u2013 also keep pace.<\/p>\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 To Minimize Health Risks And Explosions?<\/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_1730755603010\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<p>As you know, the metalworking industry must contend with the risks associated with the particulate matter emitted during its processes.
