TB 43-0213 DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY TECHNICAL BULLETIN CORROSION PREVENTION AND CONTROL INCLUDING RUSTPROOFING PROCEDURES FOR TACTICAL VEHICLES AND TRAILERS This technical bulletin supersedes TB 43-0213, 22 August 1983. Approved for public release: distribution is unlimited. HEADQUARTERS, DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY 4 December 1990 TB 43-0213 WARNING SUMMARY The following is a list of some of the WARNINGS that appear in this Technical Bulletin, as well as general safety precautions that are not related to any specific procedure and do not appear elsewhere in this publication. Rustproofing technicians must become familiar with all warnings and general safety precautions. Severe injury, health hazards, and death can be avoided by technicians who know and understand these warnings. High pressure spray can cause serious injury or death. Never put hands, or any other part of the body, in front of the rustproofing spray tool. Severe infection, blood poisoning, and gangrene requiring amputation of a limb can result from skin penetration of the rustproofing material under high pressure. Summon a physician immediately! Inform the physician that the material injected into the skin is a petroleum compound containing aliphatic petroleum naptha with an effect similar to kerosene. Injection injuries can occur as a result of pinhole leaks, splits, or rupture in the hosing due to wear, damage, or misuse. Never use a damaged hose. Never attempt to contain sudden hose leaks with hands. Instead, stand clear of ruptures and shut down the pump. Always check hosing and couplings before use. If couplings disconnect during operation, never attempt to recouple with the pump still running. Never mend damaged hose with tape or any other device. Repaired hoses cannot effectively contain high pressure fluids and are extremely dangerous. ● Whenever the rustproofing procedure requires the use of a hoist, ensure that the hoist has the capacity to lift and secure the vehicle. Hoist used must be equipped with a safety bar or safety locking device. Operation of the safety bar or locking device should be checked daily. Open air compressors should have drive belts enclosed with a wire mesh screen. Air compressors used must be equipped with a safety valve in good working order, Silica exposure hazards exist whenever sand particles are injected into the air. Wet sandblasting lessens health risks, but care must be taken to ensure that applicators use the recommended protective equipment. Silica exposure due to failure to wear protective equipment can result in silicosis, a lung disease similar to emphysema. ● Drilling metals can be extremely dangerous. Wear proper eye protection and keep hands away from cutting tool, Sharp fragments may remain around the drilling area. Use extreme caution when touching these areas. ● DO NOT smoke in the work area. Airborne rustproofing material is flammable. Fire extinguishers must be readily available. Personnel must be familiar with the use of fire extinguishers. Fire extinguishers should be inspected on a regular basis and recharged as soon as possible after use. “No Smoking” signs must be prominently displayed in the rustproofing area. Phone numbers for the nearest fire department and ambulance service should be displayed near each phone. Rustproofing compound should never be stored in an area where the temperature is above 100 degrees F (38 degrees C). Dispose of empty drums immediately. Solvents must be stored in approved containers (metal cans with automatic safety lids). Excessive amounts of solvents should never be ordered and stored in the facility, ● Personnel must be aware of rustproofing materials and various solvent hazards before using such materials. ● Work areas must be kept clean to prevent accidents. All used rags should be stored in approved safety cans. Debris should not be allowed to accumulate on the work area floor as it will present tripping and fire hazards, ● Goggles or safety glasses and a protective mask should be worn during all phases of the rustproofing procedure, When processing the underside of the vehicle, use of goggles and a safety mask is essential to safety of personnel. Shoes with non-skid soles, an apron glove, and a long-sleeved shirt should also be worn. a TB 43-0213 • Rustproofing work areas must be adequately ventilated. All personnel in immediate adjacent areas where rustproofing material is being sprayed should also wear an approved respirator mask. • High pressure washers can discharge water and debris through vent holes in excess of 1200 psi (8274 kPa). High pressure washer operators must direct all personnel to stand clear of the vehicle during cleaning operations. Operators must wear eye protection to prevent serious injury from wash-back during cleaning operations. • Electrical receptacles in work areas must be properly seated and grounded. Electrical cords used must be in good condition and provide grounding for the tool. • Static electricity is created by a high velocity flow of fluid through the pump and hose. For this reason, the dispensing system must be properly grounded. If not, sparking may occur which can ignite fumes from solvents, dust, or other flammable substances. Spark ignition of flammable materials can result in an explosion and serious bodily injury. To prevent such hazards, ensure that the equipment is properly grounded. • For first aid information, refer to FM 21-11. b *TB 43-0213 TECHNICAL BULLETIN HEADQUARTERS DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY NO. 43-0213 WASHINGTON, D.
