22、merican National Standard for Exhaust Systems Abrasive-Blasting Operations Ventilation and Safe Practicesfor Fixed Location EnclosuresAMERICAN NATIONAL STANDARD ANSI/AIHAZ9.4201111. Scope and Purpose1.1 General. This standard applies to alloperations in fixed location abrasive-blastenclosures in whi
23、ch an abrasive forciblycomes in contact with a surface by pneu-matic or hydraulic pressure or by cen-trifugal force. It does not apply to steamblasting, steam cleaning, or hydrauliccleaning methods in which work is donewithout the aid of abrasives. It also doesnot apply to abrasive blasting conducte
24、doutdoors (e.g., bridges, water towers)even though temporary enclosures maybe built at such locations.The final criterion for the designed equip-ments performance and operation willpreclude any accident, health hazards, orviolation of governmental regulations.The exhaust ventilation must: keep the e
25、scape of dust from theenclosure to a minimum; maintain a reasonable visibility inblast-cleaning rooms and cabinets,and provide for rapid clearance of thedust-laden air within the enclosureafter the cessation of blasting to per-mit the enclosure to be opened.1.2 Selection of Abrasive and Equipment.Pr
26、ohibit the use of silica sand as anabrasive-blasting agent.1. Scope and Purpose1.1 General. The rules and principles estab-lished in this standard are intended toprotect employees engaged or working inthe vicinity of abrasive blasting in fixedlocation enclosures from: 1) significantrisk of health im
27、pairment; and 2) physicalinjury due to explosions, high velocityjets of abrasive-blasting particles, ormoving equipment involved in abrasiveblasting.1.2 Selection of Abrasive and Equipment.Each type of abrasive and equipmenthas its particular advantages in produc-ing the quality of work desired, and
28、 theselection depends on the specificrequirements of the user. From a healthstandpoint silica sand is currently themost hazardous abrasive commonlyused. Therefore, with the single excep-tion of prohibiting the use of silica sandas an abrasive-blasting agent, no rule orCopyright AIHA For personal use
