Static electricity can be generated by fluid and/or air passing through hoses, by the
spraying process and by cleaning non- conductive parts with cloths. To prevent ignition
sources from static discharges, earth continuity must be maintained to the spray gun and
other metallic equipment used. It is essential to use conductive air and/or fluid hoses.

Gloves must be worn when spraying or cleaning the equipment.
Training – Personnel should be given adequate training in the safe use of spraying equipment.
Misuse
Never aim a spray gun at any part of the body.
