Exhibit 4: ARNG Shop Local Exhaust Ventilation Memorandum
Ver. June 2021
Exhibit 5: Example of Operation Description Format for Reports
Sample Process Description
CSMS Spray Painting Operation. The Paint Shop contained a large downdraft booth and was located adjacent to the vehicle maintenance bays in the “E” Wing of the CSMS. The dimensions of the booth were approximately 17.5 feet wide (17.5’ W), 40 feet long (40’ L), and 12.5 foot height (12.5’ H). Vehicle sized swing hinge doors were installed at each end of the booth and four human entry/exit doors were approximately 3’W X 7’H. Two full time painters were assigned and reported that at the current workload they were required to paint for a duration of approximately four hours, two to three days per week.
Exhaust Ventilation. See Exhibit 6 for the recommended average for cross sectional air velocity in large paint booths by per minute (fpm). The paint booth at the CSMS had an average cross-sectional velocity of 64 fpm which did not meet the standard and one side of the booth performed much better than the other. Smoke testing demonstrated that the ventilation system was somewhat effective for removing air from the booth. The system should be serviced and balanced. Regular servicing and lubrication of belts, moving parts, and filtering systems will extend the life of the equipment and ensure effective performance.
Booth Pressure. The booth relative to the adjacent workspace was under the desired slight negative pressure. The ACGIH Ventilation Manual, Paragraph 13.75, explains that maintaining the paint booth under slight negative pressure will reduce the potential of toxic paint vapors escaping the booth into adjacent work areas.
Pressure Gauge (Manometer). Manometers were installed on the booth supply and exhaust filter banks to show the pressure drop as required by the OSHA 29 CFR 1910.94(c)(7)(iii)[b]. The manometers needed fluid, to be zeroed, and to be marked correctly.
Hazards and Assessments.
Air Sampling. The chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) applied during this survey contained isocyanates, acetone, and iron oxide pigmentation. Air sampling was performed on two personnel. Air sampling location, duration, and results are provided in Appendix X, Tables X-1 and X-2. All sampling results calculated as an 8-hour time weighted average concentration (TWA8) met published standards.
Sound Pressure Levels. A sound level meter was used to measure the pressure levels in the booth during spray painting and all levels were found below the Army criterion threshold level of 85 dBA and are presented in Appendix X.
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). Personnel donned disposable coveralls (Tyvek), gloves, and supplied airline respirators.
Emergency Equipment. An emergency eyewash and shower unit were provided next to the paint mixing area. The unit was documented as inspected weekly and provided tepid flushing fluid as recommended by ANSI/ISEA Z358.2014, Emergency Eyewash and Shower Equipment.

Exhibit 8: Health Risk Assessment Codes Assigning risk assessment codes
a. During completion of the worksite survey, identify shop deficiencies evaluated in terms of compliance with Federal standards, Service specific regulations, authoritative standards and recommended practices.
Each deficiency shall be assigned a risk assessment code (RAC) based on the type of risk: health, noise, safety or ergonomic. Once a RAC is assigned for each deficiency, recommendations are made for corrective actions and included in the spreadsheet provided for placement into the shop hazard abatement plan or its equivalent.
(1) Health risk assessment code. In calculating a health RAC, four criteria are used: exposure conditions, medical conditions, exposure duration, and number of personnel exposed (or specified similar exposure group (SEG)).
(2) Noise risk assessment code. A noise RAC can be determined for either steady-state or impulse noise exposures. The exposure level, long-term frequency (consistency), and number of personnel exposed (or specified SEG) are the criteria used to calculate the RAC.
DERIVING RACs FOR CHRONIC HAZARDS Department of Defense Instruction 6055.01, Appendix to Enclosure 3 Department of Defense Safety and Occupational Health Program, 14 July 2020.
DETERMINING RACs
1. DETERMINING RACs FOR SAFETY AND FIRE HAZARDS. Use the matrix in Table 1 to determine the RACs for safety and fire hazards.

2. DETERMINING RACs FOR CHRONIC HAZARDS. Use the Table 1 matrix and descriptions in Tables 2 through 8 to determine the RAC for chronic hazards.
a. Determining the HHSC. The HHSC reflects the magnitude of exposure to a single physical, chemical, or biological agent and the effects of chronic exposure.
(1) Use the procedures in Tables 2 and 3 to assess exposure points.
(2) Total the exposure points assessed in Tables 2 and 3.
(3) Use Table 4 to determine the HHSC based on the total points assessed.
Table 2. Exposure Points Assessed

b. Determining the Effect Probability Category (EPC). The EPC is a function of the duration and frequency of exposure and the number of exposed personnel.
(1) Use the guides in Tables 5 and 6 to assess the frequency and duration of exposure points assessed.
(2) Sum the points in Table 5 for exposure duration and exposure frequency, divide by 2, then round up. Add those points with the exposed personnel points assessed in Table 6.
(3) Use Table 7 to determine the EPC for chronic hazards based on the points totaled from Tables 5 and 6.
