The obligation
The Code sets out a systematic process for spray painting and powder coating risks: identify hazards, assess risks, control risks and review control measures.
When assessing risk, consider how the object is positioned relative to people, how its size, shape and the ventilating airflow affect how coating is applied, how easily it can be moved, and whether work systems and plant could be improved. Appendix B of the Code contains an example risk assessment that can be used as guidance.
