Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were
free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death
or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to
severe burns or death in that employees were not properly grounded while
applying a combustible powder through a hand held electrostatic spray
gun:
a) Power Coating Mezzanie - An employee was observed using a hand held
electrostatic spray gun while wearing nonconductive rubber solid
sneakers, standing on cardboard and wearing cloth type gloves, thus
inhibiting the ability to create proper grounding which could result
in a spark discharge, and subsequent fires and/or explosions, 4/25/90
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct his hazard is to:
1) Remove the cardboard from the floor area and ensure the working
surface is a grounded, conductive material.
2) Conductive-soled shoes, disposable conductive boots, or personnel
grounding straps must be worn by person in the spray area.
3) If gloves are worn, both palms must be cut to allow bare skin contact
with the equipment.
