This paint booth regulations checklist is designed to accommodate federal regulations issued by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) as well as National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) standards.

Behind each listed item is a bracketed citation that directs readers to the relevant code. [29 CFR…] refers to OSHA’s general industry standards, while [NFPA…] applies to the applicable NFPA standards. While going through this checklist, it is not necessary to check every standard, though if you notice a violation we recommend reading more about it. We have also included some definitions at the end of the checklist, to help with any confusion.

Keep in mind that any violation of a listed item is a potentially serious liability and should be addressed immediately and proper compliance means satisfying every

requirement listed. Additionally, this checklist serves as a well-researched point of reference but is not intended to function as official regulatory guidelines.

Note: Bolded items may require expert opinion and consultation. While we always suggest seeking the advice of a trusted professional, bolded items indicate that we strongly recommend readers to urge on the side of caution and contract reliable experts.
