ASSIGNMENT : Industrial Hygiene

Instructions
I have been tasked with identifying health hazards associated with a production line at a manufacturing facility.

Employees at the beginning of the line use a solvent to clean the surface of medium-size auto parts, and then they place the parts on a moving line. As the parts move along the line, an employee sprays them with a powder coating, and the parts move through an oven. Another employee removes the parts from the line and places them in slots in a cart for transporting to shipping.

You have been provided safety data sheets for the solvent used for cleaning the parts and the powder coating that is used. see attached

Use the JHA form to identify the potential health hazards associated with the process use the (Basic Job Hazard Analysis) form. see attached

You will use the Basic Hazard Analysis form to enter responses and to answer the four questions listed below. See attached

2. What are the primary exposure routes associated with each health hazard?

3. Are there any potential acute or chronic health effects for any of the health hazards you identified?
