OSHA on autobody spray painting.
[link|http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/sprayoperations/standards.html|Spray Operations Standards]. [link|http://www.osha.gov/SLTC/autobody/docs/nioshctm/nioshctm.html|Here] is a short summary of studies of spray painting shops. A control strategy for protecting autobody repair workers from polyisocyanate exposure is presented. A combination of a downdraft spray painting booth and an air purifying respirator can be an effective means of controlling worker polyisocyanate exposures. When autobody painting is done in crossdraft or semi-downdraft spray painting booths, the workers should use respirators with an assigned protection factor of 25 or greater. There are various rules for limiting exposure to paint fumes, overspray, etc. in painting operations. It's impractical to have customers in bars and restaurants wear respirators. ;-j Cheers, Scott.

Your right to swing your fist ends at my nose.
Your right to smoke ends at my lungs.
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain.
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today.
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you.
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

That's why 2/3rds of the population stays out of bars.

And they're free to do that ... or open their own bars

Good catch.
Yes, it was a little re-direction on my part. Unintentional though.
Respiratory hazard abatement at workplaces has 3 steps (see e.g. [link|http://www.jlab.org/ehs/manual/PDF/6630RespProt.pdf|this] .pdf picked at random from Google):
1) Eliminate or minimize hazards by changing the processes or changing the chemicals.
2) Improving ventilation to minimize exposure (e.g. painting booths, glove boxes)
3) Personal protective equipment like respirators.
It's required that things be done in that order. Respirators are a last resort. Thus, in your establishment, to protect your employees the thing to do first is eliminate the hazard - so the workplace should be a non-smoking environment.
For consistency, OSHA should require all workplaces to be non-smoking. However, I don't think that is going to happen soon as the restaurant and bar lobby is quite strong.
HTH. :-)
Cheers,
Scott.

the process in a bar
1. ingest chemicals to impair central nervous system and cause brain damage
2. try to spread internal secretions via injection or reception.
now given those processes why does inhaling more chemicals become a health risk?
thanx,
