problem of continuous painting in an open environment has arisen environment concerns and is
ha@ardous to both human and the environment0 %he project will be directed by the following
objectives studying the e8isting body shop layouts: finding the e8isting standard parameters of
body shops: designing an automobile body shop and carrying out a cost analysis of the

%he purpose of this project is to provide design guidelines and best management practices

operations throughout $ational 5ity by providing owners and operators of auto body shops
general design guidelines and #hen both the design guidelines are e8ercised for auto body

Auto body shop owners and operators are encouraged to review the general design guidelinespresented here for incorporation into their auto body business operations0 %hese guidelines are

Most of automobile body shops in ganda are open to the environment: paint fumes and paste
particles which are dangerous to human life are directly disposed off thus coming up with

Automotive repair shops also offer paintwor1 repairs to scratches: scuffs and dents to vehicle
damage as well as damage caused by collisions and major accidents0 Many body shops now
offer paint less dent repair : which is done by pushing the dents out from inside a shop or garage
where the bodies of automotive vehicles are repaired0 !ody shop can as well be defined as
Automotive EngineeringB a place where the bodywor1 of motor vehicles is built or repaired0
#hile providing a valuable source of s1illed employment: auto shops can pose potential health
ris1s to wor1ers and nearby residents0 5ommon ha@ards to wor1ers and people living nearby
include inhalation of solvents from parts cleaning and painting operations: airborne particulate
matter from body wor1 and bra1es: direct contact with solvents and corrosive materials: fire and
e8plosion ha@ards from flammable materials: injury ris1s from stored automotive parts: heavy
metals e8posure: and water and soil contamination from improper storage or disposal of
ha@ardous wastes0 &f particular concern to the project was reducing emissions and wor1er
e8posures to solvents and particulate matter from painting: parts cleaning: and bra1e jobs: as
these e8posures have been associated with serious health effects and can be easily addressed
with product replacement: process changes: and personal protective equipment0 According to a
study conducted by the %o8ics se 2eduction 7nstitute at the niversity of Massachusetts
6owell: aerosol chlorinated solvents are frequently used in auto shops for bra1e cleaning: and
other solvents: such as toluene: 8ylene: and acetone: are commonly used for cleaning of paintspray guns and for Hoff labelI uses0 %hese practices 'anding and body wor1 also pose a health
ris1s to wor1ers and their families from e8posure to solvents: lead: and other metals in the
sanding dust: which can be inhaled or ingested by wor1ers and may be ta1en home on wor1
clothes to e8pose family members0

An auto body shop is a business where customers can ta1e their vehicles for repairs0 %his can
include very small repairs such as a dent or window replacement up to and including a full body
ma1eover with welding and painting0 %as1s performed in a body shop include receiving:
cleaning: repairing: refinishing: and painting of damaged automotive vehicles e8amining
damaged vehicles and estimating cost of repair pulling out dents filling depressions with body

%he easiest way to control the ha@ards of spray painting is to 1eep them small0 %he best way to
do this is to use a spray booth specially designed for the operation0 'pray booths must be steel
frame construction with steel walls with a minimum thic1ness of (0(+ mm or be of an equivalent
noncombustible construction0 %he interior finish of the booth is required to be a smooth and
continuous noncombustible surface0 &ther construction considerations include the floor: which
must be noncombustible: the si@e of the booth and the allowance for lighting which is normally
through special glass panels from the e8terior of the booth0 E8cept where separated from the
spray area by a vapour tight separation with no openings: all electrical equipment within the
spray area: including lighting fi8tures: shall be of an e8plosion*vapour proof type : designed for
that use and installed according to the manufacturers recommendations: local codes: standards
and bylaws0 'pray painting creates two types of ha@ards90 the buildup of overspray and the
accumulation of flammable vapours0 %o control these ha@ards: spray booths are also required to
be equipped with an overspray collection system to prevent overspray from accumulating on the
e8haust fan and in the ductwor10 5ontrol of the vapours is provided by the use of e8haust fan
motors which are normally located outside the ductwor1 and booth as they are not permitted to
be subject to the buildup of overspray residue0 Fan blades which are located in the ducts must
be of a nonferrous material to prevent spar1ing0 7nterloc1s must be provided between spraying
equipment and ventilation systems to prevent operation of the spraying equipment when the
ventilation system is shut down or the circulating pump of a water wash system is not operating0

or a water wash style: including downdraft booths0 %he following diagram indicates the different

%he difference is determined by the method that the air is drawn into and e8hausts from the
booth0 Drying &perations are permitted inside the spray booths providing the interior surfaces of
the spray booth are 1ept clean of overspray0 Portable dryers are also permitted providing they
are electric infrared and are removed during spray painting operations0 7nterloc1s must be
provided to prevent spraying and drying operations from ta1ing place at the same time0 %hese
interloc1s also provide a minimum three minute purging time after spraying to remove vapours:
maintain a safe atmosphere within the enclosure during drying and ensure drying equipment will
shut off when the ventilation system is shut down0

%he research methodology requires gathering relevant data from the specified documents andcompiling databases and arrive at analysing the material and historical reconstruction of the
design of automobile body shop0
)0, 2esearch design
%he research shall use quantities and qualitative design0 %he former will enhance the
understanding of the meaning of the numbers while the letter will give precise and testable
interpretation to qualitative ideas in the design of automobile body shop0
)0) Data types and sources
Primary data shall be captured from the already e8isting design of body shops while secondary
data from literature: internet: published reports: journals and newspapers0 'econdary data will
be reviewed alongside primary data and any other information gathered from other sources will
be used to fill the gap when ma1ing conclusion in the study0
)0+ Data collection tools and techniques
