Content: Electrical hazards in the powder coating process are mainly from defective grounding systems that could lead to electric shocks and overheating of the powder coating equipment. Install warning systems or automatic cutouts to help monitor the grounding system. Health Hazards
Powder coating health hazards arise from the powder's toxic content 2. Some of the toxic substances contained in the powder include lead and other carcinogens. Inhaling the dust can lead to respiratory disorders. The powder also causes irritation when it comes into contact with the skin. Preventive measures include wearing protective clothing like gloves and antistatic overalls that prevent the powder from reaching the skin and having appropriate respiratory equipment available. Another preventive measure is to provide proper ventilation and working exhaust fans in areas where powder coating is carried out.
