Like with any Autobody shop chemical safety first. Correct solvent rated gloves, eye protection,ventilation, respirator and disposal of waste are all important.
We were taught to wash the car/parts first, then wax and grease remover. Only after cleaning was the car/parts ready to be sanded or media blasted.
After sanding or media blasting we would wax and grease remove the substrate again.
Oil from your bare hands after blasting/sanding can contaminate the substrate, that's why we would use clean gloves when handling parts that were in the white/bare metal.
Contaminate free painting is time consuming.
I have seen a shop go nuts trying to find the source of contaminants in their paint process. It was traced back to new techs over oiling their tools.
