Spray
operations can present both physical and health hazards
to those involved. The OSHA ventilation standard for general industry (29
CFR 1910.94) defines a "spray-finishing operation" as the
"employment of methods wherein organic or inorganic
materials are utilized in dispersed form for deposit on
surfaces to be coated, treated, or cleaned."
This may include such diverse activities as the application of
flammable and combustible liquids, such as paint, in a spray booth
or spray area, electrostatic coating operations, and automobile body lining operations.
