Understanding the Risks in Powder Coating & Surface Treatment

Fire & explosion risks from powder accumulation and curing equipment.
Employee injuries from chemical exposure, heat, or moving machinery.
Equipment breakdowns in spray booths, compressors, or curing systems.
Property damage from overspray, electrical faults, or ventilation issues.
Environmental contamination from improperly disposed chemicals or runoff.
Product liability if a defective coating leads to corrosion or product failure.
Business interruption due to equipment failure or fire incidents.
At Metal Shop Insurance, we take the time to understand your workflow, identify exposures, and create a plan that protects you from both immediate and long-term risks.
