NAICS 332813: Coating, Engraving, Heat Treating, and Allied Activities / Manufacturing
This industry group comprises establishments that perform metal coating, engraving, heat treating, and polishing for the trade. Services include electroplating, anodizing, powder coating, and thermal spray coating.
Common workplace hazards include exposure to hexavalent chromium, cadmium, and other toxic metals in plating solutions, chemical burns from acids and caustics, and thermal burns from heat treating furnaces. Workers may also face risks from confined space entry in plating tanks and ventilation deficiencies.
Lockout/tagout (29 CFR 1910.147) is consistently among the most cited standards in manufacturing because it applies to virtually every piece of powered equipment. Common violations include lack of written energy control procedures for specific machines, failure to train authorized and affected employees, failure to conduct periodic inspections of energy control procedures, and using inadequate lockout devices. The standard's detailed requirements make full compliance challenging for facilities with diverse equipment.
