Content: Painting at heights: The painting of anything that is not at ground level can be dangerous. Painters can injure themselves severely by just falling off a stepladder! Those who work at heights must take considerable safety precautions, as a fall could be fatal. This may involve scaffolding or safety harnesses. In addition, activities that are involved in painting preparations and cleanup can also bring risks. Oftentimes, wooden surfaces need to be sanded before they are painted. This can lead to scrapes on the hands as well as dust in the eyes and respiratory system. How harmful this dust is will often depend on what you are sanding – old paint, wood, etc. Cleaning paint brushes and other tools often requires the use of paint thinner, depending on the type of paint used.
