Safety Guidelines for Paints in the HealthCare Industry

Isolation: Before the walls are cleaned and sanded, the area must be isolated to avoid any danger of dust and debris to the patient spaces. 

Ventilation: Certain unpleasant aromas and harmful fumes if any, released during painting can be avoided with cross-ventilation. Blocking of vents, covering wall openings, and sealing gaps, common to the painting area can avoid paint fume leakages. 

Protection: Provide painters with respiratory gear, protective clothes like gloves, airline hoods, etc. and rescue equipment for emergencies. Advise regular washing of hands and legs to avoid skin irritation, if any. 

Inflammable: Welding, cutting, or grinding must be forbidden until all paint fumes are dispersed. Strict no-smoking policy to be imposed and adopted by painters & users of the space.

SATIN FINISHES AREN’T QUITE AS EASY TO CLEAN BUT ARE MORE AESTHETICALLY PLEASING, AND HENCE CAN BE USED IN RECEPTION LOBBIES. HIGH GLOSS PAINT IS MORE DURABLE AND CAN BE USED IN HIGH TRAFFIC ZONES. THE CHOICE OF PAINTS IS A CRUCIAL CRITERION DEPENDING ON THE USE OF THE DESIGNATED SPACE.
