Safety Specs for Metal Grinding.

Safety Specs for Metal Grinding.

Safety Specs for Metal Grinding.

(OP)
Am looking for some kind of industry or military spec that defines the safety requirements for a metal grinding operation in a mixed (non-industrial) space or environment.  Like, removal of flamables is obvious, but how far away must those flamables be when using a 4" grinding disk or wheel at 3500 rpm or less, etc.  i.e., some specific physical design paramentrs please, not generalities.

RE: Safety Specs for Metal Grinding.

(OP)
Perhaps this subject needs a bit more detail, as I am sure others have faced similar situations.  

Our local regs state only that "--- any equipment that produces a fire, flame, or spark at a temperature higher than 228 degrees F ---",  then continues with items that are either general and obvious or applicable to temporary welding/cutting operations.  There is nothing more that would give specific guidance to grinding operations.  

If anyone, military or civilian, has knowledge of a spec or reg that addresses the fire safety issue for grinding operations, please advise.

RE: Safety Specs for Metal Grinding.

The only spec that came to mind is MIL-STD-1472 (Human Engineering), but searched to no avail.

Perhaps you can try the other Human Engineering specs?  Search human engineering here:

Good Luck!
