ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR PAINT REMOVAL

1. 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.
2. 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
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work area where the paint
sanding is being done until all clean up is completed.
2. 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.
See your local hardware store for the proper NIOSH approved dust mask.
3. 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

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to minimize the amount of dust
generated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed with plastic sheeting of
4 mil thickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the
work area.
