Individual protection measures
Hygiene measures : Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products,
before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.
Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.
Contaminated work clothing should not be allowed out of the workplace. Wash
contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety
showers are close to the workstation location.
Eye/face protection : Chemical splash goggles. Use eye protection according to EN 166.
Skin protection
Hand protection : Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should
be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates
this is necessary. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer,
check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It
should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be
different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of
several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately
estimated. When prolonged or frequently repeated contact may occur, a glove with
a protection class of 6 (breakthrough time greater than 480 minutes according to
EN 374) is recommended. When only brief contact is expected, a glove with a
protection class of 2 or higher (breakthrough time greater than 30 minutes
according to EN 374) is recommended. The user must check that the final choice
of type of glove selected for handling this product is the most appropriate and takes
into account the particular conditions of use, as included in the user's risk
assessment.
Gloves : butyl rubber

Chromates – ES for Sprayed products

Decanting, Mixing and Filling of Guns, Cups or Small Containers (PROC 5)
Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers the decanting, mixing and filling of guns, cups or small containers with mixtures (e.g.
primers, slurry coatings) containing chromates.
The container in which the mixture is delivered is opened in a dedicated preparation room or in a spray booth. The
primer or coating is mixed at low speed using an automated or handheld manual tool for a set time to achieve a high
level of consistency. Occasionally, small quantities of other components may be added during this mixing process.
Once adequate consistency is achieved, the primer or coating is filled into paint guns, cups or small containers. This is
typically a manual process using appropriate equipment (e.g. funnel).
Equipment Design and Access
• The operation is conducted in a dedicated preparation room or in a spray booth with enhanced ventilation.
• LEV must be provided on the work bench.
• Operations should be designed to minimise the potential for release.
• Adequate protection should be provided to capture spills.
Chromates Emissions
There is potential for spillage during filling of spray guns, cups and containers. Residual chromates on equipment
surfaces is possible.
Risk management measures (RMM) - Workers

• LEV must be regularly inspected and maintained to ensure full working order.
• Equipment must be regularly inspected. Residual chromates should be carefully removed with a disposable rag.
• Implement appropriate measures e.g. provision of local cleaning facilities and hazardous waste management bins to
prevent cross-contamination between equipment and PPE to adjacent areas.
PPE = Personal Protective Equipment
To minimize potential exposure to chromates, all persons conducting decanting, mixing and filling of guns, cups or
small containers must wear:
• Protective eye goggles.
• Protective gloves.
• Safety clothing / footwear.
Other sections of this Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provide relevant information on PPE.
Training and Supervision

All persons conducting decanting, mixing and filling of guns, cups or small containers must be instructed about the
risks of working with chromates, the safe way of handling chromates and use of PPE and other control equipment.
Workers must be properly trained and equipped to carry out their duties, and to safely cease such duties as needed.
Adequate supervision must be available at all times.
Monitoring
English (GB) 20/33

Adequate monitoring data must be available to evidence that potential exposure of workers and potential
environmental release are maintained to as low as reasonably practicable level.
Expert input is advisable.
Monitoring should be carried out at least annually. Downstream users may reduce the frequency of measurements
once it is demonstrated that exposure of humans and releases to the environment has been reduced to as low a level
as technically and practically possible and that the risk management measures (RMM) and operational conditions (OC)
correspond to the exposure scenarios and function appropriately.

Exposure and Risk for Workers

The exposure concentrations and risk characterisation ratios (RCR) are reported in the following table.

Route of exposure and Exposure concentration Risk characterisation

Inhalation, local, long term 0.17 μg/m³ Based on the dose-response
(ART 1.5 prediction, 90th relationship derived by the

working life (8h/day, 5d/week),
the following excess lifetime
risk up to age 89 is derived
based on the estimated
exposure:
0.68 per 1000 exposed workers
Conclusion on Risk Characterisation

The modelled exposure estimate (ART 1.5) of 0.17 µg Cr(VI)/m³ is used as the basis for risk characterisation (worst
case). The estimate is based on several conservative assumptions regarding exposure (1).
An excess lifetime risk of 0.68 per 1000 exposed workers is estimated based on the above exposure estimate and the
RAC dose-response relationship (2) .
(1) These include:

• highest reported exposure duration for each task (whereas the exposure duration is normally lower)
• minimum reported RMM (e.g. automation, enclosure, extract ventilation) to reduce exposure
• lowest level of personal protection (whereas the level of personal protection will normally be higher in practice)
• use of the 90th percentile value as representative for the exposure situation.
While any one individual site may represent the situation for one of these assumptions (e.g. highest reported exposure duration), no individual site represents the worst case for each assumption.
Furthermore, these assumptions have multiplicative effect, such that the level of conservatism built into the health assessment increases by orders of magnitude as a result.
(2) As the mechanistic evidence is suggestive of non-linearity, it is acknowledged by RAC that excess risks inferred in the low exposure range [i.e. below an exposure concentration of 1 µg Cr(VI)/
m³] might be an over-estimate
Surface Treatment by Spraying in Spray Cabin or Spray Booth (PROC 7)

Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers the industrial surface treatment of articles by manual spraying in a cabin.
Surface treatment is performed by spraying an even thickness of a mixture containing chromates to an article.

The cabin comprises a closed spray chamber/or semi-closed booth. The spray chamber / spray zone of a booth is
maintained under negative pressure when the system is operating. Workers spray articles using a spray gun inside the
cabin. The parts are then transferred to a drying chamber or an oven for curing.
The system must have all of the following features:
• Spray operations are carried out within a closed spray chamber or semi-closed booth.
• An extraction system designed, dimensioned, located and maintained to capture and remove chromates is provided.
• Overspray is captured within the cabin or booth.
Chromates Emissions
Material containing chromates is released during spray operations. Residual chromate on equipment surfaces and
articles/parts might be possible after treatment.

• Controls are in place to ensure access to the spray chamber or booth is restricted when the plant is operational,
including adequate clearance time after completion of a production cycle. Clearance time should be determined via an
appropriate test.
• The spray booth extraction system must be set up such that the spraying process stops immediately in case of
malfunction/breakdown.
• The spray booth extraction system must be tested regularly and comprehensively to ensure it is operating efficiently.
• Process equipment must be regularly inspected and cleaned after every use to remove residual chromates after
treatment, which appears as colored traces on the equipment.
English (GB) 22/33

• Implement appropriate measures (e.g. provision of local cleaning facilities and hazardous waste management bins) to
prevent cross-contamination from equipment and PPE to adjacent areas.
• Physical barriers, signage or strict procedures must be in place to control access to the spray area.
All persons accessing the spray cabin must wear:
• Air-fed respirator /full-face filter mask with P3 filter.
• Chemical resistant disposable suit.
All persons with access to the spray cabin must be instructed about the risks of working with chromates, the safe way
of handling chromates and use of PPE and other control equipment. Workers must be properly trained and equipped to
carry out their duties, and to safely cease such duties as needed. Adequate supervision must be available at all times.

Exposure Assessment – Surface Treatment by Spraying in Spray Cabin/Spray Booth (PROC 7)

Introduction
Small to medium sized parts are sprayed in a spray cabin or spray booth with air extraction systems in place. Workers
wear at least half-face masks with P3 filter. This is not a continuous task during the full-shift.
Around 40 personal sampling and static measurement data from 2000-2013 in five EU countries were available from
more than 5 companies. Because a sufficient number (>30) of data from personal sampling were available, the
exposure assessment is based on these data (as suggested in the Technical Guidance document R.14).
Individual company data have been comprehensively evaluated. The number of sampling data provided by each of the
companies varied (e.g. different number of measurements conducted, different number of years reported), so the data
were aggregated per company in the first instance. In a second step, data were aggregated across all the companies
that provided data, giving equal weight to each company in the data set.
The estimation below therefore considers already the effectiveness of local exhaust ventilation (reflected by the
measured values) which is standard in spray rooms/booths.
The values reported below includes an estimate of the effectiveness of respiratory protection. Effectiveness of
respiratory protection was assessed using the company information on type of mask and filter used and the protection
factors (APFs) provided by either the German BG rule “BGR/GUV-R190” from December 2011 or alternatively, if
available, the APF provided by the manufacturer of the respiratory protection equipment. Respiratory protection is
always worn during spraying. The APFs reflected in the measured data below were between 30 and 2000.

Surface Treatment by Spraying Outside of Paint-Booth (PROC 7)

Introduction
This Exposure Scenario covers the industrial surface treatment of articles by spraying outside a cabin. The process is
typically conducted within an aircraft hangar or dedicated space when other options are not possible (e.g. when the
item to be treated is not transportable or cannot be disassembled for surface coating).
An even thickness of a surface treatment containing chromates are applied to an article by spraying
Workers spray articles using a spray gun, typically within an aircraft hangar or dedicated space. The system must have
all of the following features:
• The spraying is carried out in an area to which access is restricted.
• The activity is carried out only in instances when spraying within a booth is not an option from a practical point of view
(i.e. the surface area to be sprayed forms part of a larger object).
• LEV designed, dimensioned, located and maintained to capture and remove chromates is provided to efficiently
remove chromates from area.
• Masking materials may be used to protect equipment during operations such as spraying or maintenance where there
is increased potential for release. The masking material is periodically removed and replaced.
Chromates Emissions
Material containing chromates is released during spray operations. Residual chromate on equipment surfaces and
articles/parts might be possible after treatment.

• Controls are in place to ensure access to the area in which spraying is being carried out is restricted when spray
activities are ongoing, including adequate clearance time. Clearance time should be determined via an appropriate test.
• The LEV system must be tested regularly and comprehensively to ensure it is operating efficiently.
• Spray equipment must be cleaned after spraying.
• Implement appropriate measures (e.g. provision of local cleaning facilities and hazardous waste management bins) to
prevent cross-contamination from equipment and PPE.
All persons accessing the spray cabin must wear:
• Air-fed respirator /full-face filter mask with P3 filter.
• Chemical resistant disposable suit.
All persons with access to the restricted area must be instructed about the risks of working with chromates, the safe
way of handling chromates and use of PPE and other control equipment. Workers must be properly trained and
equipped to carry out their duties, and to safely cease such duties as needed. Adequate supervision must be provided

Exposure Assessment – Surface Treatment by Spraying Outside of Paint-Booth or Spray-Booth

(PROC 7)
Conditions of Use
Occasionally spraying is conducted on limited surfaces outside a paint booth, e.g. directly on airplanes. Depending on
the amount of paint used (exposure potential) either half-face or full face masks are in use. Local extraction may or
may not be available. For the purpose of this exposure assessment it is assumed that it takes place two times a week,
using less than one litre of paint, without exhaust air extraction and using a half-face mask. This scenario also covers
as worst-case those situations in which a higher amount of paint is used, but less often and using a full-face masks.
The model also applies a maximum concentration level of chromate [and so Cr(VI)]. In most cases, the concentration
will be much lower

Drying and Self-Curing (PROC 26)

Exposure Assessment – Drying/Self-Curing (PROC 26)
Introduction
Once coating is completed, the finished part is stored for drying and curing. The part may be cured in the spray booth
or in a separate room fitted with extraction. In most application cases, no workers are present. In some facilities,
however, workers might be around the curing part for a limited amount of time and then the following scenario applies.
However, most of the time, activities will not be conducted in close proximity (i.e. within one metre distance of the
breathing zone) to the drying/curing part. As a worst-case, the scenario assumes that no LEV is present and no RPE
worn.
There is no extraction for items which have been touched-up on the shop floor, however potential exposure is only to
low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) not to hexavalent chromium.

Cleaning and Maintenance of Equipment (PROC 8b)

Introduction
English (GB) 29/33

This Exposure Scenario covers activities relating to the cleaning of equipment after spray activities in a closed system
or in the spray cabin, paint shop or paint mixing room by the worker who conducted spraying.
During spray activities, chromates are used and handled in liquid form. Spray equipment used during handling of and
processing with chromates needs to be cleaned or decontaminated following use. Cleaning activities are therefore
normally carried out directly following spray activities.
Cleaning is normally carried out in the spray cabin, paint shop or paint mixing room or in a dedicated adjacent area.
Cleaning or decontamination of equipment must be carried out taking care to minimise worker exposure or release to
the environment.
• Walls and the floor of the spray area should be covered with protective masking (paper/film/foil) before spraying. The
masking material is periodically removed to hazardous waste and replaced.
• Tools (e.g. spray guns) may be cleaned with solvent or water in a closed system.
• Tools (e.g. paint guns, brushes) may be cleaned with solvent or water in the spray cabin, paint shop or paint mixing
room.
Chromates Emissions
Following spray activities, there is residual chromate on spray equipment and PPE. There may also be residual
chromate in the spray zone.

• Controls are in place to ensure access to the designated room is restricted to authorized personnel when the plant is
operational, including adequate clearance time after completion of a production cycle. Clearance time should be
determined via an appropriate test.
• The restricted zone should be managed through use of physical barriers and signs.
• Implement appropriate measures e.g. provision of local cleaning facilities and hazardous waste management bins to
prevent cross-contamination from the spray area, spray equipment and PPE to adjacent areas.
• Provide worker decontamination area, including adequate hygiene facilities. Workers must wash hands and face
before eating, drinking or smoking.
Typically, the worker maintains the same PPE for cleaning spray equipment as for the spraying activity itself. To
minimize potential exposure to chromates, all persons cleaning spray equipment must wear:
• Plastic (chemical resistant) coverall to be worn over work clothes prior to decontamination.
• Respiratory protective equipment.
All persons performing cleaning activities must be instructed about the risks of working with chromates, the safe way of
handling chromates and use of PPE and other control equipment. Workers must be properly trained and equipped to
carry out their duties, and to safely cease such duties as needed. Adequate supervision must be available at all times.

B. Exposure Assessment: Cleaning and Maintenance of Equipment – Tools Cleaning (Paint Cabin)
(PROC 8b)
Introduction
Tools (e.g. paint guns, brushes) are cleaned with water or solvent in the spray cabin, paint shop or paint mixing room
by the worker who conducted spraying. If maintenance is required, it is conducted in the same step under same
conditions. The model also applies a maximum concentration level of chromate [and so Cr(VI)]. In most cases, the
concentration will be much lower.
Conditions of Use
• Viscosity: Low
• Situation: Activities with treated/contaminated objects (surface 0.1-0.3 m²)
• Contamination level: Contamination 10-90 % of surface
