Unit III Homework Assignment
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
BOS 4301, Industrial Hygiene 2
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
