What are the hazards of sheet metal painting

The hazards of sheet metal spray painting are actually quite large, and these hazards can actually be understood from the cases of benzene poisoning in the spray painting industry. The main reason is that it contains more chemical components, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, etc. Long-term exposure to these substances can easily cause neurasthenia, headaches, dizziness, fatigue, memory loss and other adverse hazards and effects.

1. Very harmful

Benzene poisoning can occur in the paint spraying industry. Occupational hazards and prevention of benzene and its compounds Benzene and its compounds include: benzene, toluene, xylene and other compounds.

2. Common working environments include:

1. In production, benzene exists in the production of phenol, nitrobenzene, aniline, rubber, plastics, pesticides and other industries.

2. During the sales and use process, the product may be exposed to operations such as spraying, painting, coating, gluing, printing, leather making, shoe making, toy and furniture making.

3. Exposure to compounds such as benzene, toluene, and xylene can cause the following occupational hazards:

Short-term exposure to high concentrations of benzene and its compounds can easily cause acute poisoning and symptoms of neurasthenia such as headache, dizziness, fatigue, poor sleep, memory loss, etc. Long-term exposure to benzene and its compounds exceeding a certain concentration can cause chronic poisoning and damage to the hematopoietic system, such as leukopenia, anemia, and in severe cases, leukemia. Long-term skin contact can cause dryness and cracking of the skin. Sensitive people are prone to rashes, eczema, folliculitis and degreasing dermatitis.

4. Comprehensive measures must be taken to prevent poisoning by benzene and its compounds:

1. Use new materials and improve new processes.

2. Adopt automated and closed operations.

3. Strengthen ventilation and exhaust.

4. Use effective personal protective equipment, such as gas masks, masks, etc.

5. Strengthen environmental concentration monitoring in the workplace.

6. Conduct regular occupational health examinations.
