“Safe Use of Spray Paint Booths”
Key Hazards
- Inhalation of paint fumes
- Fire risk from overspray buildup
- Skin and eye irritation
2–3 Minute Talk Script
Safe use of spray paint booths is essential for painters, automotive technicians, and manufacturing workers. Proper ventilation is the key to preventing inhalation hazards and ensuring quality finish work.
Workers should confirm that exhaust systems are operating at full capacity before spraying.
Different coatings—lacquers, enamels, water-based paints—produce different levels of overspray and require different filter types.
Wearing gloves, goggles, and respirators prevents skin and respiratory exposure.
Safety Reminders
- Check that ventilation is running.
- Replace filters regularly.
- Wear full PPE during spraying.
- Avoid ignition sources inside the booth.
Ask the Crew
- Are booth filters due for replacement?
- Is the exhaust airflow strong enough today?
