For maximum operator safety spray booths should be assessed every 14 months to evaluate the minimum clearance time. By using a professional smoke machine and deactivating the ventilation system, we can accurately assess the length of time that it takes an empty booth to clear of smoke, giving operators clear guidelines as to the necessary duration of mask or respirator usage following spraying operations. Failure to follow these guidelines or have regular booth clearance assessments can result in operators being exposed to harmful paint spraying residues.
