(2) You must limit the vapor area to the smallest practical space by using mechanical ventilation.
(3) You must keep airborne concentration of any substance below twenty-five percent of its lower flammable limit (LFL).
(4) You must make sure mechanical ventilation draws the flow of air into a hood or exhaust duct.
(5) You must have a separate exhaust system for each dip tank if the combination of substances being removed could cause a:
(a) Fire;
(b) Explosion; or
(c) Potentially hazardous chemical reaction.
Reference: You need to keep employee exposure within safe levels when the liquid in a dip tank creates an exposure hazard. See Airborne contaminants, WAC
296-841-099 through
296-841-20025.
Note: | You may use a tank cover or material that floats on the surface of the liquid to replace or assist ventilation. The method or combination of methods you choose has to maintain the airborne concentration of the hazardous material and the employee's exposure within safe limits. |
