Although these vacuums might be acceptable for general cleaning of dust and debris outside of coating booths, using them to collect combustible metal dust can not only be deadly, but it may also violate the requirements set forth in OSHA’s Combustible Dust NEP, which calls for electrical vacuums used in dusty areas to be approved for the hazard-classified location.
