SAFETY  

OSHA Manual (1993)
In response to growing concerns on managing safety regulations in hot-dip galvanizing facilities, the AGA has compiled a comprehensive manual specifically addressing the unique situations of the hot-dip galvanizing industry.  This manual covers hazard communications, lockout/tagout, confined spaces, PELs, and other safety regulations.  Available to members only.  Approx 500 pages, MS-OSHA-93 Call for price.  

Safety Video (1998) 
The AGA's Safety Video was developed specifically to review the hot-dip galvanizing process and present potential hazards to increase awareness and prevent occupational hazards within the hot-dip galvanizing facility.  The video is divided into two parts: processing safety and maintenance safety.  The processing safety portion aids the viewer in understanding the proper safety techniques to use throughout the hot-dip galvanizing process, such as discussion on the appropriate personal protective equipment and safety procedures.  The maintenance safety portion gives an overview of specific safety issues in a hot-dip galvanizing facility.  The issues highlighted in this portion of the video are chemical maintenance, confined spaces, lockout/tagout procedures, kettle maintenance, and housekeeping.  Available to members only.
