Application of intumescent fire-rated coatings to structural steel involves working at heights, isocyanate/solvent exposure, and abrasive surface preparation. This work triggers HRCW under WHS Regulation 2011 r291 due to falls over 2m and hazardous chemical use, requiring a documented SWMS before commencement.
Hazards identified
3 hazards covered, sorted by priority.
Serious injury or fatality from falls over 2m
Occupational asthma, dermatitis, chemical sensitisation
Silicosis, respiratory disease, eye injury
Control measures
Hierarchy-of-controls order: elimination → substitution → isolation → engineering → administrative → PPE.
- 1Use compliant EWPs/scaffolds with edge protection; harness anchored when working above 2m.
- 2Air-fed respirators (AS/NZS 1716) for spray application; SDS-driven ventilation and exclusion zones.
- 3Wet blasting or vacuum-shrouded tools; verify DFT with calibrated gauge per AS 3894.3.
Applicable Codes of Practice
Mandatory fall controls for steel coating above 2m
Surface prep, DFT verification and application standards
High-Risk Construction Work triggered
Structural steel coating typically performed from EWPs or scaffolds above 2m.
Intumescent coatings contain isocyanates, solvents and epoxy hardeners requiring controlled application.
SWMS mandatory before work starts; PCBU penalties up to $30,000.
