Scenario:

a work crew will be entering a stainless-steel tank, to spray a protective coating onto the inside of the tank. The crew on the last shift completed the bottom portion of the tank but ran into equipment trouble, so your crew is responsible to complete the coating on the top portion of the tank.

There will be 1-2 workers working in the tank at one time to get the job done most effectively and efficiently. 1 will have an electric handheld paint sprayer, while the other (if necessary) will be doing manual touch-ups to ensure a consistent protective finish. Suitable respirators are required.
