NAICS 238320: Painting and Wall Covering Contractors / Construction
This industry comprises specialty trade contractors primarily engaged in interior and exterior painting, and wall covering installation. Work includes surface preparation, application of paints, stains, and coatings.
Common workplace hazards include falls from ladders, scaffolds, and aerial lifts, respiratory exposure to paint vapors and spray mist, and lead paint exposure during preparation of older surfaces. Workers may also face risks from isocyanate exposure in two-component coatings and chemical solvents.
Construction consistently has the highest number of OSHA inspections for several reasons: the industry has one of the highest fatality rates of any sector, worksites change frequently (creating new hazards), many construction operations are visible from public areas (making observation easier), and OSHA runs multiple National Emphasis Programs targeting construction hazards. The transient nature of construction work also means new employers continuously enter the inspection pool.
