Special properties
The O.S.H.A. Safety Color Enamels are for marking physical hazards as defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Act. Areas that have no physical hazards do not require these colors.

Where to use
The O.S.H.A. Safety Color Enamels are for interior and exterior surfaces and are formulated in a high quality alkyd vehicle for use on metal, wood or masonry.

Surface preparation
Surfaces to be painted must be clean, smooth and free of dirt, dust, mildew, grease, flaking and chipping paint, and other surface contamination. Cracks, seams, holes and nail holes should be filled with putty or caulking compound and allowed to dry. Slick or glossy surfaces should be dulled by sanding. All bare wood, metal and other surfaces should be coated with an appropriate primer before applying these products.

Application
Apply only when the air temperature and that of the surface to be painted are above 45 degrees F. For best results, do not apply in direct sunlight. Avoid painting late in the day when dew or condensation are likely to form or when rain is threatening. Stir thoroughly before using.
