
First determine if the task can be
eliminated—if not, proceed as follows:
Step 1. Eliminate a spray-painting hazard
through engineering; e.g., provide a paintspray booth with ventilation.
Step 2. Establish administrative (safety)
rules; e.g., only paint under certain
conditions.
Step 3. Provide PPE; e.g., a respirator,
gloves, coveralls, head covering, etc.
