When blasting a tee, the following safety precautions should be considered:

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

• Wear a proper respirator to protect against inhalation of dust and particles. Different types of blasting media can produce harmful dust.
• Safety goggles or a full-face shield to protect the eyes from flying debris.
• Protective clothing such as overalls, gloves, and hard hats to guard against impacts and abrasions.

Work Area Preparation:

• Ensure the blasting area is well-ventilated to remove dust and fumes. Use exhaust fans or work in an open space if possible.
• Set up barriers or warning signs to keep unauthorized personnel away from the blasting zone.
• Secure the tee properly to prevent it from moving or falling during the blasting process.

Blasting Equipment Safety:

• Check and maintain the blasting equipment regularly to ensure it is in good working condition. This includes inspecting hoses, nozzles, and pressure gauges.
• Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for operating the blasting equipment safely.
• Use appropriate blasting media and ensure it is stored and handled safely.

Electrical Safety:

• If using electrically powered blasting equipment, ensure proper grounding and check for any electrical hazards.
• Avoid using electrical equipment in wet or damp conditions.

After Blasting Cleanup:

• Dispose of blasting waste and debris properly in accordance with environmental regulations.
• Clean up the work area thoroughly to remove any remaining dust or debris that could pose a hazard.
