The Spray Coating Regulations 1962 came into force on I June 1962 and are wider in scope than the Spray Painting Regulations 1940 which they replace. They were prepared in consultation with representatives of industry including the following organisations:

NZ Employers Federation
NZ Manufacturers Federation
NZ Zealand Motor Body Builders Industrial Union of Employers
NZ Federation of Labour and
NZ Engineering, Coachhuilding, Aircraft and Related Trades Industrial Union of Workers.

This booklet has been prepared by the Department of Labour to explain the provisions of the regulations and to offer advice which may be helpful to owners of spraying equipment.

NOTE: The Spray Coating Regulations 1962 still apply but there have been significant changes in legislation since this booklet was first published. Only the section on Electrical Installations (p.13) has been amended.
