Hazards to the paint user

  • Chapter
Hess’s Paint Film Defects

  • 150 Accesses

Abstract

This chapter deals exclusively with those hazards which may confront anyone having to handle paint, particularly when applying it, and also those hazards associated with its storage. Any reference to the hazards centred on the actual manufacture of paint, has been deliberately omitted as outside the scope of this book. It aims to provide health and safety information relating to paint whether the user be a do-it-yourself enthusiast, a professional house decorator or maintenance man, or the employer or employee of a works manufacturing products such as cars and engineering components where paint is utilized not only for decorative but for protective purposes.
