TSS SAFETY SURVEY
The Safety Committee’s mission is tomake thermal spray
environmental, health, and safety (EH&S) information avail-
able to the thermal spray community to both collaborate with
other professional organizations in the development and de-
ployment of thermal spray EH&S information, and to establish
guidelines for the safe installation, operation, and mainte-
