NACE Unveils Groundbreaking Nuclear Plant Inspection CourseBy Matthew V. Veazey, Contributing Editor

Following the 1979 accident at Three Mile Island Nuclear Gen-erating Station in Pennsylvania,

the construction of new nuclear power plants in the United States ground to a virtual halt. After a decades-long stand-still, however, the industry is poised for a period of robust growth in the United States and elsewhere.

As it undergoes a period of revival and transformation, the nuclear indus-try faces a challenge that is key to its sustainable growth: how to replace an experienced work force that is on the verge of retiring with a new genera-tion of workers who will maintain the industry’s enviable safety record. Enter NACE International.

NACE’s new Nuclear Power Plant Training for Coating Inspectors course, which will be offered beginning in June 2009, recognizes the “safety-critical” na-ture of coatings in nuclear power plants. The new training program is based on NACE’s world-renowned Coating In-spector Program (CIP) and other in-spection programs that focus on in-strument training and surface prepa-ration technologies. “Just because you have inspection skills and can pass background checks doesn’t mean you can work in nuclear power plants,” says NACE Coating Inspector and Peer J. Steve Poncio, who is experi-enced with coating inspection in nu-clear power plants and served as a subject matter expert in the develop-ment of this course.

The five-day course is designed for qualified coating inspectors who want to perform inspections in nuclear power

plant facilities. It covers nuclear pow-er plant job-specific operations training and emphasizes the following:l The restrictive

environment and unique requirements thereof

l Verbatim com-pliance with plant regula-tions, technical specifications, other specifica-tions, and work procedures

Nuclear power plant workers who are not inspectors will also benefit from the course because it will enable them to understand what coating inspectors look for. In addition, others who may find the course useful include quality assurance managers at these facilities and indi-viduals who develop and/or sell coating systems for nuclear power plants.

There are no requirements to meet in order to attend the new training course; however, NACE CIP Level 1 certifica-tion is recommended. To achieve certi-fication, NACE CIP Level 1 certification or equivalent is required, with work ex-perience. (These are proposed require-ments; requirements will be finalized in March 2009.)

NACE would like to thank the subject matter experts contributing to this pro-gram: Jon Cavallo, CCC&L (NACE CIP 3); Garth Dolderer, Florida Power and Light (NACE CIP 3); Pete Englebert,

Manta Industrial, Inc., a division of K2 Industrial Services (NACE CIP 3); Dave Evans, Rudd Co. (NACE CIP 3); Benja-min Fultz (Bechtel); Thomas D. Gibbons, Greenman-Pedersen, Inc. (NACE CIP 3); D.

NACE Provides New Opportunities for Maritime Coating Inspectors

NACE International, the corro-sion society, is announcing a maritime version of the Coating

Inspector Program (CIP) Level 2 to offer coating inspectors industry-specific train-ing that includes instruction tailored to in-spection and regulations for the maritime industry. CIP Level 2 is one of only two certifications named in the IMO Perfor-mance Standard for Protective Coatings (PSPC) regulation. With the introduction of the maritime option, NACE is now of-fering the only coating inspector program specified by the IMO with an emphasis on coating inspection in shipyards.

NACE CIP celebrated its 25th anni-versary in 2008, and has certified more than 15,000 coating inspectors since its inception. In the past two years nearly 2,000 of the inspectors certified are em-ployed in the maritime industry, an indi-cation of the demand for a specific pro-

gram for this application. With the CIP Level 2 maritime emphasis, coating in-spectors now have the option to obtain the necessary certification from NACE with the new discipline specific to coat-ing inspection in the maritime industry.

The certification program will pro-vide maritime coating inspectors with the skills to work in environments such as ballast tanks and use instrumentation specific to the industry. The result is an increase in job opportunities and earn-ings potential for the most qualified coat-ing inspectors. Not only are ship owners and contractors required to have inspec-tion performed by a certified CIP Level 2 inspector or equivalent, but they also benefit by having inspectors with the skill set to minimize maintenance expenses.

It is estimated that the PSPC require-ments will increase maintenance costs of vessels by a minimum of 10%. As

such, ship owners are demanding more qualified inspectors who have the ability to minimize this incremental cost.

“Ship owners and contractors are look-ing to organizations such as NACE to help produce a qualified work force for the maritime industry that can comply with the requirements of the IMO. The maritime version of CIP Level 2 address-es this need and serves to create new job opportunities within the field of coatings and corrosion prevention,” says Mike Moss, NACE director of education.

CIP Level 2 is offered through NACE and approved licensees. Inspectors with three years of verifiable experience in the marine industry, as well as inspectors who have completed CIP Level 1, are qualified to register for the maritime ver-sion of CIP Level 2.

Injuries from improper use of airless spray equipment can be extremely serious.

Injection Injuries: Liquid BulletsBy Syndee Holt

Injection injury—even the phrase will make a grown man flinch. The airless spray equipment that

makes your job easier can make your life quite painful if you don’t follow some simple safety precautions. Nev-er treat an injection injury as a simple cut; you must treat it as though you had been shot with a poisonous bullet.

Airless spray equipment operates by forcing liquids at very high pressure through a very small, precise opening. Grease guns, spray guns, diesel injec-tors, paint guns, concrete guns, and plastic injectors all operate with any-where from 600- to 12,000-psi veloc-ity. This can drive the fluids you are spraying through your body tissue in excess of 600 ft/s if the nozzle is four inches or less from your body—about the velocity of a rifle.

On coatings job sites, these easily pre-vented injuries do oc-cur, whether through accident, inattention, or poor work habits. Simple care and at-tention to detail will help keep you from becoming a statistic.

Looking at Statistics

Injection injuries happen most com-monly to men, ages 21 to 59, on a new job or using a new tool. Over 75% of injection injuries reported are to the index finger of the hand not holding the tool. The second most common injury site is the fleshy area below the thumb of the hand not holding the

tool. The typical injury occurs with an entry point at the tip of the finger, but the velocity of the pressure can drive the injected substance from fingertip to palm, injuring the surrounding tissues and destroying blood vessels, similar to a gunshot wound.

Grease is the most commonly in-jected fluid, closely followed by paint. Oil-based paints cause more injury than water-based paints; however, both will cause rapid tissue death.

The number of injection injuries is difficult to assess, but a group at the University of Colorado estimated that one in 600 hand injuries treated in their emergency department were injection injuries.

Treating Injection InjuriesThe injury site may appear to be

only a small puncture wound with very little pain, often with a small amount of the fluid injected dripping out of the wound. Don’t mistake this rather unremarkable looking injury for anything less than an injury that can lead to amputation or even death.

Since the injected material acts as a projectile, there may also be a small exit wound. The amount of pain ex-perienced at the time of injection is a very poor indicator of the extent of damage; within even a few hours of a paint or paint thinner injection, the


injury site will grow in pain intensity as tenderness and discoloration of the skin start to occur. It may take a couple of days for other injected substances, such as grease, to start to cause this damage.

Prompt treatment of any injection injury is absolutely necessary. Typi-cally, most patients with injection injuries report to the medical facility after their work day is complete and the injury site has started to swell and hurt. This delay can be critical to treatment.

It is important to tell the medical personnel that you have suffered an injection injury, what substance you were working with, and the estimated velocity of the machine you were op-erating. According to Stan Stutzka of the California Poison Control System, “It’s not the injected substance that is critical, but the pressure at which it was injected. A toxin injected at a low

pressure may not be as critical as wa-ter injected at an extremely high rate of pressure.”

In addition to information about the airless sprayers’ velocity, also bring the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for the injected coating. This will help the medical personnel pro-vide the correct treatment.

Some medical personnel may also be fooled by the small wound and not start the radical treatment necessary, so make sure that the treatment team understands injection injuries and their treatments. This type of injury should be considered a surgical emer-gency. If you suspect that you have suffered an injection injury, go imme-diately to a hospital emergency room, not an urgent care or physician’s office.

The treatment may involve a teta-nus shot if yours is not current, as well as a preliminary x-ray to see the area of injection and the amount of tissue

already involved.Since the injured tissue is suscep-

tible to bacteria, an antibiotic is of-ten prescribed to prevent secondary infections. The damaged tissue and injection material will be immediately removed under anesthesia, in a proce-dure called debridement.

The medical team may also need to decompress the injury area by cut-ting the skin areas open to relieve the swelling pressure and release the toxins. This can result in substantial wound areas. They may also need to treat you for any acute reactions to the chemicals injected.

Amputation is often unavoidable, especially in injuries to the fingers. Paint and paint thinner cause the most amputations, with estimates as high as 48% of these types of injuries ending in amputation. Even if am-

Continued on p. 6


putation is avoided, the finger or toe may be too stiff to be usable. Other complications can include infection, permanent contraction of the injured digit, and chronic pain. Physical and occupational therapy will be critical after the initial injury treatment to help restore as much use as possible to the injured area.

Even air or clean water injection injuries need treatment. Air injection will usually require antibiotics, splint-ing, and elevation of the injured area. Clean water injection will usually re-quire debriding, antibiotics, and el-evation of the injured area.

Although these types of injuries are not common, according to the Fluid Power Safety Institute, “Over 99% of the people who service, repair, and troubleshoot hydraulic systems have been subject to the exact dynamics that trigger a high-pressure injection injury. However, the ‘liquid bullet’ either missed or deflected off its tar-get.” That means just about everyone who uses an airless sprayer has cre-ated the perfect set of circumstances that could have led to this injury and the potential loss of limb.

If you have any questions regard-ing a possible injection injury, call the Poison Control Hotline at 1 800-222-1222.

This article was originally published in the May 2007 issue of CoatingsPro. l

Prevention of Injection Injuries

Prevention of this type of injury is completely avoidable. Here are some simple rules:

l Never point an airless sprayer towards your hand or body. Treat it as you would a loaded gun.

l Never use your hand to stop a leak in the sprayer.

l Never put your finger or hand in contact with the nozzle.

l Never remove the safety spacer at the tip of the gun. This spacer is placed to reduce the possibility of injection through the skin.

l Never spray in the vicinity of open flame, pilot lights, electrical outlets, or other sources of ignition.

l Never allow hoses to become kinked, or to vibrate against rough or sharp surfaces.

l Never spray in an enclosed area without proper ventilation to remove vapors.

l Never leave a spray unit that is pressurized unattended. The unit should be shut off, the pressure released, the trigger’s safety en-gaged, and the power shut off to the unit.

l Always follow the coating and solvent manufacturers’ safety guide-lines, as well as those of the spray equipment manufacturer.

l Always wear gloves and goggles, but don’t count on these to “save” you.

l Always use the correct-sized sprayer tip for the material being sprayed to prevent clogging.

l Always inspect the hoses, connections, and fittings for signs of damage, and proper fit before using.

l Always use approved grounded outlets and extension cords of the voltage and frequency noted on the motor.

NACE Instructors Needed

At a time of unprecedented growth for NACE International—mem-

bership is now nearly 21,000 world-wide—NACE education and train-ing programs and courses are rapidly increasing to keep pace with industry requirements. As much of the world’s infrastructure nears or reaches the end of its design life, qualified corrosion professionals are in high demand to design and execute effective corrosion control systems using best engineering practices. NACE training and certifi-cations are being specified more often and in more places as companies work to prevent the safety, environmental, and economical problems that result from corrosion-induced failures.

As NACE increases its course of-ferings, the need for new instructors from both inside and outside North America is growing to broaden the current strong network of training professionals. Becoming a NACE in-structor involves a series of steps and qualifications that vary according to the course taught. The path to be-coming a Coating Inspector Program (CIP) instructor, for example, includes CIP certification, CIP nomination, field inspection experience, and sev-eral other criteria. Once qualified, instructors may get assignments in various parts of the world.

For information on how to become a NACE instructor, contact Education Manager Karla Smith at +1 281-228-6230 or e-mail: [email protected]. l

Coatings ResourcesTECHNICAL COMMITTEES

Whether you want to help shape change in the coatings industry or just gain a better understanding of the standards that affect you, participating in NACE International technical committee meetings is your best resource for the latest in cutting-edge coatings technology. If you are a member and would like to join a committee, go to the NACE Access section of the NACE Web site to join online, contact [email protected], or call +1 281-228-6264.

The following is a list of NACE technical committees that deal specifically with the protective coatings and linings industry. If you are a member of NACE, you may participate in technical committee activities.

Specific Technology Groups (STGs) are groups of technical committees organized under a specific scope of activity. They either sponsor or administer a num-ber of Task Groups (TGs) and Technology Exchange Groups (TEGs).

TGs are small committees formed by one or more STGs to produce specific documents as assigned. The work of each TG generally culminates in a technical committee publication.

TEGs are committees that are formed by STGs to conduct symposia and/or technical information exchanges (TIEs). TEGs do not generate technical commit-tee publications.
