Every spray foam contractor needs to understand and respect the risks that come with spray foam application. Learn the key safety tips for working with spray foam that old and new contractors alike should know.
Prepare Your Workspace
Each location that requires spray foam insulation will be different in layout. One day, you may spray a commercial building or warehouse with plenty of open space, and the next day, you may spray a compact crawl space. The important thing to remember is how to adequately prepare each space for spray foam. Make sure you block off the area you’re spraying so that people and pets don’t have access. Additionally, you should have tarps and tape to cover furniture, outlets, and other exposed areas that home or business owners wish to protect during the process. You should also survey the space to ensure there are no tripping hazards or anything to impede your application process.
Review Materials and Equipment
Before you start any spray foam application, be sure to inspect your equipment. A quick inspection between uses will help you know that your equipment is in working order and ready to apply foam. Never use damaged equipment on the job site, as this could result in accidents or a poor-quality foam application. As a best practice, clean and inspect your spray foam equipment after each use to keep it in good working condition.
Remember To Have PPE
When you’re just starting in the spray foam contracting business, you’ll need to collect the various pieces of equipment necessary for insulation jobs. Investing in high-quality spray foam equipment, such as proportioners, spray guns, and rigs, is important. But stocking the correct personal protective equipment is crucial as well. In fact, you should never begin a spray foam project without the right protective gear. Some spray foam kits may be missing safety equipment, so always double-check your inventory for safety gear before you start a job.
Remember these key safety tips for working with spray foam as you begin your career and schedule jobs as a contractor.
