Are "NO SMOKING" signs posted in spray areas, paint rooms, paint booths, and paint storage areas?
Is the spray area kept clean of combustible residue?
Are spray booths constructed of metal, masonry, or other substantial noncombustible material?
Are spray booth floors and baffles noncombustible and easily cleaned?
Is infrared drying apparatus kept out of the spray area during spraying operations?
Is the spray booth completely ventilated before using the drying apparatus?
Is the electric drying apparatus properly grounded?
Are lighting fixtures for spray booths located outside of the booth and the interior lighted through sealed clear
panels?
Are the electric motors for exhaust fans placed outside booths or ducts?
Are belts and pulleys inside the booth fully enclosed?
Do ducts have access doors to allow cleaning?
Do all drying spaces have adequate ventilation?
ENTERING CONFINED SPACES
Are confined spaces thoroughly emptied of any corrosive or hazardous substances, such as acids or caustics,
before entry?
Before entry, are all lines to a confined space, containing inert, toxic, flammable, or corrosive materials valved
off and blanked or disconnected and separated?
Is it required that all impellers, agitators, or other moving equipment inside confined spaces be locked-out if
they present a hazard?
Is either natural or mechanical ventilation provided prior to confined space entry?
Before entry, are appropriate atmospheric tests performed to check for oxygen deficiency, toxic substance and
explosive concentrations in the confined space before entry?
Is adequate illumination provided for the work to be performed in the confined space?
Is the atmosphere inside the confined space frequently tested or continuously monitor during conduct of work?
Is there an assigned safety standby employee outside of the confined space, whose sole responsibility is to
watch the work in progress, sound an alarm if necessary, and render assistance?
Is the standby employee or other employees prohibited from entering the confined space without lifelines and
respiratory equipment if there is any questions as to the cause of an emergency?
In addition to the standby employee, is there at least one other trained rescuer in the vicinity?
Are all rescuers appropriately trained and using approved, recently inspected equipment?
Does all rescue equipment allow for lifting employees vertically from a top opening?
Are there trained personnel in First Aid and CPR immediately available?
Is there an effective communication system in place whenever respiratory equipment is used and the
employee in the confined space is out of sight of the standby person?
Is approved respiratory equipment required if the atmosphere inside the confined space cannot be made
acceptable?
Is all portable electrical equipment used inside confined spaces either grounded and insulated, or equipped
with ground fault protection?
Before gas welding or burning is started in a confined space, are hoses checked for leaks, compressed gas
bottles forbidden inside of the confined space, torches lighted only outside of the confined area and the
confined area tested for an explosive atmosphere each time before a lighted torch is to be taken into the
confined space?
If employees will be using oxygen-consuming equipment such as salamanders, torches, furnaces, in a
confined space, is sufficient air provided to assure combustion without reducing the oxygen concentration of
the atmosphere below 19.5 percent by volume?
Whenever combustion-type equipment is used in confined space, are provisions made to ensure the exhaust
gases are vented outside of the enclosure?
Is each confined space checked for decaying vegetation or animal matter, which may produce methane?
Is the confined space checked for possible industrial waste, which could contain toxic properties?
