An excerpt from ISNetworld® RAVS®* Safety plan Abrasive Blasting Program
Types of coatings. A surface coating formed during the fabrication of a part, or a protective coating applied after fabrication, will be removed and dispersed as a dust by abrasive blasting. The type of coating should be known to make a proper evaluation of the potential hazard.
Silica sand is frequently embedded in the surface of castings and may be pulverized by blast cleaning.
Coatings containing toxic metals will add to the potential seriousness of the dust exposures. Examples of such coatings are anti-fouling paints containing mercury, lead paints on structural steel, cadmium plating, and lead deposits on pistons of internal combustion engines.
Plastic or resin coatings may be decomposed by the action of the abrasives to form irritating by-products.
Wet abrasive blasting. Wet methods will tend to keep dust exposures minimal, but droplets dispersed and dried residues which become airborne may create potential exposures.
Concentrations of contaminants. The concentration of respirable dust or fumes in the breathing zone of the abrasive-blasting operator or any other worker shall be kept below the recommended levels.
