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.
  • Spontaneous combustion of fine aluminum dust when ignition and fire sources are drawn in.

    E.g.: hot splinters, grinding sparks, cigarettes etc.
