Potential health hazards include exposure to chemicals such as paints (aerosol paint cans, stains, varnishes, latex or water based paint), silicas, or fine dust from sanding operations. An individual may be exposed through inhalation or dermal absorption. Organic solvents and vapors through inhalation or absorption have been linked to central nervous system disorders. In addition, skin contact may cause dermatitis and localized skin irritation. Exposure to additives and paint pigments such as lead, cadmium, and chromium is considered highly toxic. Sanding operations create fine dust that can have negative health effects if inhaled. Know the hazards involved with the materials you are using, check any applicable SDS sheets, and read any labels for proper usage instructions. ''Are the vapors or dust harmful to breathe? Is it flammable? Will there be a chemical reaction?'' Please do your research and notify the Maker Hub staff of any harmful chemicals, vapors, or dust you might be creating <strong>BEFORE</strong> you begin your work in the Finishing Room.

* Do not stand downwind of your workpiece. The whole point of the {{PAGENAME}} is to pull harmful fumes and dust away from you, through the filters, and out of the building. If you are standing between your workpiece and the filters, you are defeating the purpose of the {{PAGENAME}} because all the fumes and dust you are creating are being pulled past your body on their way out of the building. Rotate your workpiece if you need to access the other side.

===Fire Protection System===

===Fire Protection System===

The paint booth is designed with an AMEREX industrial dry chemical fire suppression system that will discharge into the paint booth if the system is set off. Trust me... you do not want to set off this fire suppression system unless absolutely necessary because it will unleash a deluge of fire suppressing agent all over you, your workpiece, and probably half of the Machine Shop. The fire suppression system can be activated by automatic or manual means (see the images in the gallery below). During automatic activation, the heat from the fire melts a pressurized detection line relieving air pressure, which allows high-pressure nitrogen gas to pneumatically open the dry chemical cylinders to disperse the suppressing agent through the fixed nozzle network. During manual activation, the user must first pull the ring pin located at the entrance to the Finishing Room and then pull the handle of the manual pull station firmly. As iterated above, do not use any open flames or create a lot of heat inside the paint booth. If possible, use the portable fire extinguisher by the Wood Shop door instead.

During manual activation, the user must first pull the ring pin located at the entrance to the Finishing Room and then pull the handle of the manual pull station firmly. As iterated above, do not use any open flames or create a lot of heat inside the paint booth. If possible, your first option should always be to use the portable fire extinguisher by the Wood Shop door before manually activating the fire suppression system. Treat the fire suppression system as the last resort for when the fire has gotten out of control.

Note: The discharge of the fire suppression system is noisy and produces a large cloud of extinguishing chemicals. Breathing the dry chemical is unpleasant and may cause some irritation to the nose, throat, and eyes, and may cause coughing. The dry chemical is non-toxic in all forms and is classified as nuisance dust by OSHA.
