Homework: OSHA Health Hazards Analysis
You have been tasked with identifying health hazards associated with a production line at a manufacturing facility.
Employees at the beginning of the line use a solvent to clean the surface of medium-size auto parts, and then they place the parts on a moving line. As the parts move along the line, an employee sprays them with a powder coating, and the parts move through an oven. Another employee removes the parts from the line and places them in slots in a cart for transporting to shipping.
You have been provided safety data sheets for the solvent used for cleaning the parts (attached) and the powder coating that is used (attached). Use the JHA form to identify the potential health hazards associated with the process. Attached is the Basic Job Hazard Analysis form. You will use the Basic Hazard Analysis form to enter your responses and to answer the four questions listed below. Please upload this completed document to your instructor for grading.
Prepare a 2 pages homework homework summarizing your health hazard analysis and answer these questions from the Basic Job Hazard Analysis form.
o What are the health hazards associated with the operation?
