A summary of the additional requirements includes the following:
- Oregon includes definitions for infrequent and of short duration spray finishing, non-combustible materials, overspray, and spray room.
- Spray finishing is to be conducted in a spray room or booth with local exhaust ventilation except when spaying is infrequent or of short duration, when a single "air brush" is used, when it would be impracticable to move a large or heavy object into a spray area for finishing, or when spray painting is done outdoors.
- Spray finishing outside of a booth or room may only be done after provisions have been met regarding electrical equipment, protection of combustible materials, automatic sprinklers, maintenance of aisles leading to exits, employee access to the spray area, ventilation or respiratory protection, and housekeeping.
- Oregon allows combustible materials, such as paper, to be used to cover floors and walls if they are removed at the end of each shift -- the local fire authority must give written approval for longer intervals.
- Spray booths must be constructed with materials that have a fire resistance rating of at least one hour. Adjacent construction must also have a one-hour fire resistance rating or as otherwise required by the Oregon Building Codes Division.
- Spray booths with open frontal areas larger than 9 square feet are to have a metal deflector or curtain at least 4-1/2 inches deep installed at the upper outer edge of the booth over the opening. The federal rule at 1910.107(b) requires it to be at least 2-1/2 inches deep.
- Oregon allows locating a spray booth closer than 3 feet to an exterior wall or roof assembly if the wall or roof assembly is constructed of a non-combustible material and the booth can be cleaned and maintained.
- Oregon allows sprinkler heads to be covered to protect them from overspray if the local fire authority authorizes the material and method used.
- Oregon allows deviations from the airflow requirements (100 feet per minute) if the deviations are authorized in writing by the local fire authority.
- Exhaust terminal discharge points must not discharge in the direction of any combustible construction or unprotected opening in any non-combustible exterior wall within 30 feet. The distance in the federal rule at 1910.109(d)(8) is 25 feet.
- Oregon includes requirements for mixing room construction, airflow, electrical installations, and fire protection.
- Oregon requires drying, curing, or fusion equipment manufactured or modified after June 1, 2003 to comply with NFPA No. 86-1999 -- Standard for Ovens and Furnaces -- where applicable. Equipment modified or manufactured on or before June 1, 2003 must comply with NFPA No. 86A-1969, where applicable. The federal rule requires equipment to meet NFPA No. 86A-1969, where applicable.
- Oregon adds detailed rules for reinforced plastics manufacturing when it involves shop work using polyester, vinylester, and other similar products in which styrene monomer is a reactive monomer for the resin. The rule applies to chopper gun, gelcoating, hand laminating and casting operations utilizing resin and organic peroxide catalyst.
