I. PURPOSE

The purpose of this procedure is to define safe Abrasive Blasting requirements to prevent hazard
associated with improper Abrasive blasting operations.

11. SCOPE

This procedure covers Abrasive Blasting activities within YANPET along with involved
YAPET, Contractors employees.

Ill. EXPECTED RESULTS

A. Reduce Safety, Health and Environment (SHE) incidents with root cause related to
Abrasive Blasting activities.

B. Reduce SHE near-miss / violation related to Abrasive Blasting activities.

IV. PROCEURES

A. MSDS shall be obtained for the abrasive material and all precautions given in the MSDS
shall be complied with.
B.
The abrasive blast operator shall be equipped with a special purpose, supplied-air hood,
with strong apron, and leather gauntlet gloves. Heavy quality overalls are recommended
for body covering.
C.
Dust filter masks shall not be used where silica sand is used as abrasive blasting material or
where toxic material is blasted.

D. Blast cleaning enclosures shall be exhaust ventilated in such a way that a continuous
inward flow of air is maintained.

E. Where abrasive blasting is done in the open, such as on plant steel work, the work area and
all its approaches shall be cordoned off to prevent personnel without protective equipment
from coming into range of flying abrasive particles and clouds of dust.

F. Warning signs shall be posted near the area where abrasive blasting is in progress.

G. Other employees working near (or attending) the abrasive blaster shall wear approved
respirators and goggles offering a tight seal around the face.

H. If the work location is unavoidably near concentrations of other employees, then an "off-
shift" time should be chosen.

1. Blasters in full protective equipment are greatly hampered on the job. To protect against
falls in cleaning steel work at high level, Blasters must be provided with safe and sound
platforms, trestles, and scaffolds with toe boards and guards rails, from which to work.
Safety harness should be used, and, if men are working over water, the wearing of life
jackets is mandatory.

J. Abrasive blasting shall not be performed from a ladder.

K. During the actual job of abrasive blasting, the operator shall have complete control of the
hose nozzle, which shall be fitted with a self-closing valve (dead man valve). In this way
the blaster has complete control of the nozzle on hand if he drops the nozzle, the self-
closing valve will automatically shut offthe compressed air supply.

L. Abrasive blasting may develop severe sparking at the nozzle through static electricity.
Accordingly, the nozzles of all grit blasting guns shall be grounded to prevent the possible
ignition of any flammable vapors that may be present.

M. Grounding shall be done through a conductor attached to the nozzle tip, to the ground and
to the work being blasted.

N. Hot work Permit shall be obtained to carry out the abrasive blasting activities.
