                                     FOR CA@C PAINTING OPERATIONS

          1.    Establish a Restricted Area

                  a. Personnel working inside restricted area should be required to wear
                     protective clothing and equipment as described below..

                  b. Use engineering tape to   mark off an area 100 meters   on either side
                     of the "CARC" paint spray area. Personnel on break      or otherwise
                     not required to be in the painting area should remain outside of
                     the taped off area.

          2. Fire    Protection

           Solvents  used in "CARCH painting are flammable liquids.

                  a. Allow no smoking within restricted area.

                  b. No open flames or other ignition sources should be permitted inside
                     the restricted area.

                  c. Class B fire extinguishers should be readily available at painting
                     and mixing sites. Personnel should be trained in the operation of
                     these.extinguishers.

                  d. Assure bulk storage of paint is such that drum temperatures do not
                     exceed 1200F. Probably not a problem during December or January
                     but could be as ambient temperatures increase.
                  Respiratory Protection/Prot6ctive Clothing

                  a. High Volume Production - 100 - 200+ vehicles per day.

                       1) Personnel spray painting, mixing or otherwise in close proximity
                          to the spray painting operation should be required to wear full-
k over. garment,
                          gloves and foot covers.

                       2) Personnel within the restricted area but not working in the immed-
                          iate vicinity of the spraying operation should wear a full-face

                          garment, protective gloves and foot covers.

                  b. Low  Volume Production - Up to 50 vehicles per day

                       Spray painters should wear air supplied respirators. Mixers and
                       other ancillary personnel should wear full-face air purifying respir-
