ALUMINUM HAZARDS INFORMATION
| Hazards / effects |
Measures / regulations |
Repair stage 1: (replacement of bolted parts, dent removal)
Repair stage 2: (structural repairs with bonding and riveting) |
- When a vehicle outer shell is ground, aluminum dust accumulates in small amounts. This dust can be removed with conventional extractor systems.
|
Repair stage 3: (structural repairs with welding)
- Explosion hazard due to high concentration of fine aluminum dust.
Arising e.g. during straight-through grinding of coated parts in the base material and large-surface grinding of bright-finish parts.
- Explosion hazard due to swirling up of fine aluminum dust in cavities.
Created by the necessary, thorough cleaning of machining surfaces and tools before and after machining aluminum.
|
- Avoid high concentration of fine aluminum dust by means of continuous extraction.
- Use explosion-proof extractor systems.
- Do not use compressed air when cleaning the work bay.
- Avoid swirling up dust when cleaning the work area.
