Precautions to Take When Sanding 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:
11
1. 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. See your local hardware store for the
proper NIOSH‑approved dust 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.
2. 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.
3. ClEAning AnD DisPOsAl
All surfaces in the work area should be vacuumed
‑
and thoroughly cleaned daily for the duration of
the sanding project. Vacuum filter bags should be
changed frequently.
Plastic drop cloths should be gathered up and
‑
disposed of along with any dust chips or other
removal debris. They should be placed in sealed
refuse receptacles and disposed of through regular
trash pick‑up procedures. During clean up, children
and pregnant women should be kept away from the
immediate work area.
All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by
‑
children should be washed thoroughly before being
used again.
Proper Hand Position (Fig. A, H)
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position as shown.
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
