SANDING

LEAD BASED PAINT

Sanding of lead based paint is NOT RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead poisoning is to children and pregnant women. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint contains lead without a chemical analysis, we recommend the following precautions when sanding any paint:

PERSONAL SAFETY

•No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint sanding is being done until all clean up is completed.

•A dust mask or respirator should be worn by all persons entering the work area. The filter should be replaced daily or whenever the wearer has difficulty breathing.

NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used. Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper (NIOSH approved) mask.

•NO EATING, DRINKING or SMOKING should be done in the work area to prevent ingesting contaminated paint particles.Workers should wash and clean up BEFORE eating, drinking or smoking. Articles of food, drink, or smoking should not be left in the work area where dust would settle on them.

ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY

•Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust generated.

•Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.

•Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area.

ENGLISH
