Hazards / effects Measures / regulations
Repair stage 1:

  • 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.
