Work health and safety duties are implemented through jurisdiction-specific legislation. New Zealand requirements include applicable WorkSafe guidance and local building, electrical, and hazardous-substance rules.
|
Exhaust airflow, fan selection, hazardous-area electrical equipment, fire protection, separation distances, grounding, and safe access should be engineered for the coating process. Hot and remote locations require attention to makeup-air temperature and equipment derating.
|
State, territory, or local environmental authorities may control VOC emissions, odour, outdoor exhaust, and waste handling. Overspray arrestors and correct filter loading are important for both emissions and fire risk.
|
Verify the applicable state or territory, certification and inspection route, hazardous-substance inventory, cyclone or high-wind anchoring, weather protection, electrical requirements, and exhaust discharge clearance.
