Special Exposures: Abrasive Blasting, Spray Finishing, Compressed Air, Lasers, Nanomaterials and Indoor Air

CSP written lesson, 13 min read. CSP Domain 3: Risk Management

Written with AI help from the rules it covers, then fact-checked against them. Study aid, not site-specific safety advice. The official rule controls.

What you'll learn

  • Apply the abrasive blasting enclosure, dust and respirator rules in 29 CFR 1910.94(a)
  • Check spray booth face velocity against 29 CFR 1910.107
  • Apply the 30 psi limit and conditions for compressed air used for cleaning
  • Explain laser classes, MPE and the nominal hazard zone
  • Describe NIOSH-recommended controls for engineered nanomaterials
  • Identify the main causes of indoor air quality problems and how outdoor air enters a building

What this lesson covers

This lesson covers exposures that the general rules handle only in passing: abrasive blasting, spray finishing, compressed air used for cleaning, lasers, engineered nanomaterials and indoor air quality. For each you will learn the key terms, what OSHA or the federal guidance requires or recommends, and how to check a control with a simple number.
