Should Paint Technicians Lift Their Visor?
We have employed a new Paint Technician who has years of experience and is really good at his job but I regularly see him lifting his visor to ‘check’ the finish. I have asked him not to do this but he has said that momentarily lifting the visor does not affect health.
Is he correct or should I ensure he keeps his visor down whilst spraying. The other painters keep their visors down but I am concerned that they may follow the example of this older more experienced new employee.
Should I give the painter a specific instruction to keep his visor down whilst spraying and notify him that if I see him raise his visor again I will be required to take disciplinary action?
