to
proper
set­
up
at
the
start
of
a
job
and
cleanup
at
the
end
of
the
job,
the
third
key
strategy
to
minimize

is
using
safe
work
practices.

Upon

Typical
Lead
Dust
Creation
°
This
chart
illustrates
that
traditional
work
practices
create
large
amounts
of
dust.
Point
out
that
the
chart
shows
amounts
of
dust
in
the
air
measured
for
three
common
work
practices.
This
chart
may
suggest
different
dust
levels
from
those
in
the
exercise
about
levels
of
dust
created
by
different
practices
in
Module
1.

°
The
source
of
the
data
for
this
chart
is
a
study
that
measured
amounts
of
leaded
dust
in
the
air
caused
by
each
type
of
work.
The
dust
was
measured
in
micrograms
per
cubic
meter
(
µ
g/
m3).

°
Although
the
chart
does
not
indicate
this,
the
amount
of
dust
created
by
power
and
hand
sanding
and
demolition
is
much
larger
than
the
amount
of
airborne
leaded
dust
that
requires
special
worker
protection
measures
(
also
known
as
permissible
exposure
limit
or
PEL)
under
OSHA
regulations.
The
OSHA
trigger
level
at
which
special
worker
protection
measures
are
required
is
50
µ
g/
m3
(
50
micrograms
per
cubic
meter).
This
is
a
time
weighted
average
over
8
hours.

Traditional
work

dust
°
This
chart
shows
amounts
of
lead
dust
created
by
three
common
construction
practices:
hand
sanding,
power
sanding,
and
interior
demolition.

°
The
amount
of
lead
dust
for
each
practice
is
significantly
higher
than
the
level
where
worker
protection,
such
as
respirators
and
protective
clothing,
is
required
by
OSHA.
This
airborne
dust
is
hard
to
control.

°
By
using
safe
work
practices,
you
can
control
and
significantly
reduce
the
amount
of
dust
created
on
the
job.
Controlling
lead
dust
at
the
source
of
generation
is
important
because
dust
generated
into
the
air
will
eventually
become
settled
dust
on
the
ground.
Later
in
this
chapter,
you
will
learn
safe
work
practices
that
can
replace
these
restricted
work
practices.

Avoid
these
traditional
work
practices
°
A
key
to
minimizing
the
spread
of
dust
and
paint
chips
is
to
not
use
certain
traditional
work
practices
known
to
create
large
amounts
of
dust
and
debris.

°
Open
flame
burning
or
torching
of
paint
and
using
a
heat
gun
above
1,100
º
F
create
fumes
that
are
dangerous
for
workers
to
breathe.
Small
lead
particles
created
by
burning
and
heating
also
settle
on
surrounding
surfaces
and
are
very
hard
to
clean
up.
°
Power
sanding,
grinding
or
abrasive
blasting,
even
on
a
small
surface,
creates
a
large
amount
of
leaded
dust
that
floats
in
the
air
and
then
settles
on
surfaces
inside
and
outside
the
work
area.
°
Extensive
dry
hand
sanding
and
hand
scraping
can
also
create
large
amounts
of
dust
and
paint
chips.

Safe
Work
Practice
Alternatives
to
High
Risk
Practices
°
This
overhead
shows
the
safe
work
practices
that
can
be
used
instead
of
traditional
practices
that
are
restricted.
All
of
these
practices
are
for
removing
paint,
one
of
the
most
dust­
intensive
work
activities
in
renovation
and
repainting.

°
When
presenting
these
practices,
it
is
helpful
to
show
the
class
examples
of
some
of
the
tools
used.

°
Chemical
stripping.
Chemical
strippers
can
be
dangerous­­
for
example,
some
caustic
strippers
cause
burns.
Methylene
chloride
is
a
suspected
carcinogen.
Citrus­
based
strippers
are
safer.

°
Wet
sanding.
Wet/
dry
sandpaper,
sanding
grit,
and
sanding
blocks
can
be
used
with
light
misting.

°
Heat
gun
on
low.
Point
out
that
the
heat
gun
should
be
set
to
no
more
than
1,100
/
F.
Note
that
newer
heat
guns
don't
go
above
1,100
/
F.

°
Power
tools
with
HEPA
exhaust
filter.
These
tools
are
attached
to
a
HEPA
vacuum
by
a
hose.
Later
overheads
in
this
module
will
cover
using
power
tools
with
HEPA
attachments.

°
Note:
HEPA
stands
for
"
high
efficiency
particulate
air"
filter.
By
definition,
HEPA
filters
capture
99.97%
of
particles
that
are
0.3
microns
or
larger
in
diameter.

°
In
practice,
contractors
will
want
to
choose
the
safe
work
practices
that
work
best
for
a
particular
job.

jobs,
there
are
safe
work
practice
alternatives.

°
Some
possible
alternatives
are
listed
on
the
slide.

°
With
experience,
you
will
determine
which
safe
work
practices
work
best
for
different
tasks.

Note:
HEPA
(
high

particulate
air)
vacuums
have
HEPA­
rated
filters
that
stop
99.97%
of
particles
of
0.3
microns
or
larger.

Also
keep
in
mind
°
Chemical
strippers
can
be
dangerous.
Some
can
cause
burns.
Methylene
chloride
is
suspected
to
cause
cancer
but
may
be
appropriate
for
exterior
work.
Types
of
strippers
range
from
citrus­
based
(
safer)
to
more
dangerous
caustic
strippers.
Follow
the
manufacturer's
directions
when
using
any
chemical
stripper.

°
If
building
components
to
be
stripped
can
be
removed,
such
as
doors,
consider
having
them
stripped
off­
site
at
a
paint
stripping
facility.

°
Half­

respirators
do
not
provide
sufficient
breathing
protection
when
using
methylene

Practices
°
Beyond
using
safe
work
practices
for
paint
removal,
there
are
several
other
practices
that
contractors
can
use
to
control
the
spread
of
dust.

°
As
you
present
each
of
the
practices
on
the
overhead,
the
following
props
illustrate
the
practice.

°
Score
paint.
Hold
up

knife.

°
Minimize
pounding,
hammering.
Hold
up
pry
bar.
Vise
grips
may
be
useful
for
pulling
out
nails.
Use
large
vise
grips
for
large
nails.

°
Mist
surroundings
with
water.
Hold
up
mist
bottle.
A
light
misting,
not
soaking,
is
effective.

°
Mist
before
drilling
and
cutting.
Worker
lightly
misting
piece
of
painted
trim
before
cutting
with
a
hand
saw.

°
Point
out
that
using
power
tools
on
wet
surfaces
can
be
dangerous­­
there
is
a
risk
of
electric
shock
and
blades
can
slip.
Misting
surfaces
should
be
done
only
with
hand
tools.
You
also
should
not
mist
around
electrical
outlets.

°
To
facilitate
electrical
safety
students
should
use
ground
fault
circuit
interrupters
(
GFCIs).

°
Mist
before
drilling
and
cutting
to
reduce
dust
creation
and
keep
dust
from
becoming
airborne
and
spreading
beyond
the
work
area.

°
Scoring
paint
before
separating
components
helps
prevent
paint
from
chipping
when
a
paint
seal
is
broken.
°
Prying
and
pulling
apart
components
and
pulling
nails
instead
of
pounding
create
less
dust
and
fewer
paint
chips.
Vise
grips
may
be
useful
when
pulling
nails.

°
Frequent
misting
of
surrounding
surfaces
with
water
helps
keep
dust
and
paint
chips
from
becoming
airborne
when
disturbed
by
work
activity.

°
Using
power
tools
on
heavily
misted
surfaces
can
be
dangerous
if
they
are
wet.
Tool
blades
can
slip
and
water
can
cause
electric
shock.
When
misting,
lightly
mist
the
surface
and
use
hand
tools
only.
If
power
tools
are
to
be
used,
they
should
be
attached
to
a
HEPA
vacuum.

pamphlet,
customers
may
have
questions
about
how
the

There
are
some

practices.
Most
of
these
tools
and
supplies
are
widely
available
from
suppliers
and
home
improvement
stores.

°
These
tools
are
used
to
help
reduce
dust
and
for
cleaning
while
working
to
keep
dust
under
control.

°
You
will
need
several
basic
supplies
to
protect
floor
and
ground
surfaces,
and
bag,
wrap,
and
clean
dust
as
work
is
performed.
If
dust
and
debris
are
contained
in
plastic
right
after
they
are
created,
there
is
less
chance
that
they
will
be
spread
beyond
the
work
site.

Safe
Work
Practices
Toolkit:
Consider
Investing
in
New
Tools
°
Because
many
contractors
use
power
tools
on
the
job,
it
is
often
not
possible
to
mist
surfaces
with
water.
It
is
dangerous
and
can
cause
electric
shock.

°
Contractors
should
consider
investing
in
power
tools
with
HEPA
exhaust
filter
attachments
or
buying
attachments
that
fit
their
power
tools.

°
All
of
the
tools
listed
here
are
used
to
remove
paint
from
large
surfaces.

°
Sanders,
grinders,
planers,
and
shavers
are
used
on
wooden
surfaces.

°
A
needle
gun
is
used
on
brick,
stone,
and
metal
surfaces.

°
Power
washing
equipment
can
be
used
on
many
types
of
surfaces.
The
runoff
from
power
washing
needs
to
be
collected
and
disposed
of
properly.
(
See
the
modules
on
setup
and
disposal.)

°
This
investment
will
pay
off
in
the
long
run
because
contractors
can
continue
to
work
quickly
and
contain
dust
better
with
these
attachments
and
HEPA
exhaust
filters.
It
may
also
be
possible
to
rent
these
tools.

°
Point
out
that
these
attachments
do
not
entirely
eliminate
the
dust
created
by
the
work,
so
the
other
precautions,
especially
during
set­
up,
are
still
important.

Because
wet

are
appropriate

practical
only
when

adapters

are
necessary
for
power

paint
from
large
surfaces,
an
investment
in
attachments
to
control
dust
can
make
the
job
go
quickly
and
safely.

°
These
tools
use
HEPA
vacuums
and
adapters
that
help
contain
dust
and
debris
as
they
are
created.
A
shroud
helps
to
contain
the
dust
and
paint
chips
as
they
are
created.
They
are
carried
to
a
HEPA
vacuum
by
a
hose
attached
to
the
shroud.
°
It
may
be
possible
to
rent
these
tools,
if
you
decide
to
not

in
them.

Power

Power
washing
can
be
used
if
runoff
is
properly
contained

disposed.

Set­
up
is
still
important
°
Proper
set­
up
and
cleanup
is
still
important
because
HEPA
attachments
do
not
eliminate
the
possibility
that
work
will
spread
dust.
Nonetheless,
these
attachments
will
reduce
dust
levels
and
thereby
shorten
cleaning
time
and
lower
costs.

Protect
Yourself
°
Workers
should
take
precautions
to
protect
themselves
from
dust
hazards
on
the
job.

Note:
These
are
minimal
precautions.
Employers
must
follow
OSHA
regulations
which
may
require
more
extensive
worker
protection
measures,
especially
for
high
dust
jobs.

°
As
you
talk
about
the
specific
worker
protection
precautions,
refer
to
the
following
slide:

°
Worker
protection.
Personal
protection
equipment:
painter's
hat,
coveralls,
and
N100
disposable
respirator.
N100
is
a
NIOSH
rating
for
respirators
that
can
be
used
around
lead.
N100
means
that
the
respirator
has
HEPA
filtering
capability.
The
disposable
N100
respirator
is
acceptable
for
small
jobs
but
under
some
work
conditions,
OSHA
may
require
another
type
of
respirator.

°
Workers
don't
need
to
wear
gloves
but
should
wash
their
hands
frequently,
especially
before
eating,
smoking,
and
leaving
at
the
end
of
the
day.

°
Supervisors
can
buy
extra­
large
size
disposable
coveralls
and
re­
size
them
with
duct
tape.
Some
coveralls
also
have
hoods
to
keep
dust
out
of
hair.
The
coveralls
can
be
used
over
again
at
the
same
job
site
but
should
be
disposed
of
at
the
end
of
the
job.

°
An
OSHA
course
may
specify
that
more
involved
worker
protection
measures
be
taken.
Some
work
activities,
by
their
nature,
would
trigger
OSHA
requirements.

Workers
should
protect
themselves
°
Minimum
steps
that
workers
can
take
to
protect
themselves
include:

°
Painter's
hats
are
an
inexpensive
way
to
keep
dust
and
paint
chips
out
of
workers'
hair.
Painter's
hats
can
be
easily
disposed
of
at
the
end
of
the
day
or
job.

°
Disposable
coveralls
are
a
good
way
to
keep
dust
off
of
workers
clothes
and
reduce
the
chances
for
carrying
dust
to
other
areas
of
the
residence
as
workers
come
and
go.
The
coveralls
can
be
removed
when
workers
leave
the
work
site
and
stored
in
a
plastic
bag
overnight.
To
keep
costs
down,
consider
buying
extra
large
size
coveralls
in
bulk
and
sizing
to
fit
workers
with
duct
tape.
Some
coveralls
have
a
hood
to
keep
dust
out
of
hair.
°
Respiratory
protection.
Workers
should
wear
respiratory
protection,
such
as
an
N100
disposable
respirator,
to
prevent
them
from
breathing
leaded
dust.

°
Workers
should
wash
their
hands
and
faces
periodically
to
avoid
ingesting
leaded
dust.
It
is
especially
important
to
wash
well
before
eating,
drinking
or
smoking
and
to
not
do
any
of
these
in
the
work
site.
Some
of
the
dust
that
settles
on
the
face
around
the
mouth
invariably
finds
its
way
into
the
mouth.
Workers
should
also
wash
at
the
end
of
the
day
before
getting
in
their
car
or
going
home.
They
can
take
leaded
dust
home
to
their
families.

°
OSHA
rules
may
require
employers
to
take
further
steps
to
protect
the
health
of
workers
on
the
job.

°
Disposable

to
clean
up
small
messes
and
dust,
and
for
workers
to
use
to
wipe
off
dust
before
leaving
the
work
site,
and
for
washing
before
eating,
drinking,
or
smoking
while
at
work.
(
However,
eating,
drinking,
smoking
should
not
be
done
in
the
work
site.)

°
N100
disposable
respirators
provide
an
inexpensive
protection.
These
masks
are
designed
for
lead
work.
(
Masks
rated
as
N95
are
not
sufficient.)
These
masks
are
made
with
HEPA­
rated
material
and
look
somewhat
like
a
dust
mask,
are
inexpensive,
and
easy
to
find
in
home
improvement
stores.
Employers
are
responsible
for
following
OSHA's
regulations
for
worker
safety,
especially
during
high
dusty
jobs
which
may
require
a
more
protective
type
of
respirator.
Like
all
respirators,
the
N100
must
be
used
according
to
OSHA
requirements.

Control
the
Spread
of
Dust
°
This
overhead
presents
some
other
steps
that
workers
should
take
to
control
the
spread
of
dust
from
the
work
site.

°
Dust
can
be
spread
when
workers
leave
the
work
site
to
get
tools,
carry
away
debris,
take
a
break,
leave
at
the
end
of
the
day,
etc.
The
boundaries
of
the
work
site
depend
on
the
containment
area.
For
example,
it
may
be
the
area
covered
by
protective
sheeting
or
an
entire
room.

°
Workers
can
carry
dust
outside
the
work
area
on
their
shoes
and
clothes.
They
should
always
wipe
the
tops
and
bottoms
of
their
shoes
and
vacuum
their
clothes
before
stepping
off
of
the
protective
sheeting.

°
Workers
should
take
extra
precautions
when
cleaning
before
leaving
for
home
because
they
can
carry
dust
home
to
their
families
on
their
clothes,
in
their
hair,
on
their
bodies,
and
in
their
car.
Studies
have
been
conducted
that
measure
the
blood
lead
levels
of
worker
families.
These
studies
confirm
that
the
children
of
workers
do
get
poisoned
by
leaded
dust
carried
home
from
work
sites.

Precautions
to
take
when
leaving

°
When
you
leave
the
work
site
(
the
area
covered
by
protective
sheeting
or
the
room),
take
precautions
to
prevent
spreading
dust
and
paint
chips
to
other
parts
of
the
residence
on
your
clothes
and
shoes.

°
Every
time
you
leave
the
work
site,
wipe
or
vacuum
your
shoes
before
you
step
off
of
the
plastic
sheeting.
A
large
tack
pad
on
the
floor
can
help
to
clean
the
soles
of
your
shoes.
Remove
shoe
coverings
if
you
are
using
them.

°
At
the
end
of
the
day,
change
your
clothes
and
wash
yourself
to
reduce
the
risk
of
contaminating
your
car
and
taking
leaded
dust
home
to
your
family.

°
Before
leaving
the
worksite­­
remove
any
protective
clothing,
HEPA
vacuum
dust
from
non­
protective
clothing,
and
thoroughly
wash
your
hands
and
face.
Throw
away
disposable
clothing
or
place
clothing
in
a
plastic
bag
to
stop
dust
from
getting
on
other
clothes
at
home..

°
At
home­­
as
soon
as
you
arrive
at
home,
take
a
shower
and
be
sure
to
thoroughly
wash
your
hair,
especially
before
playing
with
children.
Wash
work
clothes
separately
from
regular
household
laundry
to
stop
lead
particles
from
getting
on
your
other
clothes.

Cleaning
During
the
Job
°
By
nature,
remodeling,
renovation,
and
paint
jobs
create
debris
which
can
pile
up
in
the
work
site.
Debris
should
be
removed
periodically
to
keep
it
from
being
a
source
of
dust
that
can
be
easily
spread
by
work
activity
and
coming
and
going
from
the

parts
of
the
residence.
It
is
important
to
wipe

Cleaning
the
work
site
frequently

progresses
will
reduce
the

of
dust

The
cleaning
need

It
should,
however,
keep
debris,

Cleanup
during

As

work
day,
this
debris
is
easily
spread.
Periodic
cleaning
throughout
the
work
day
will
help
to
minimize
workers
tracking
dust.

°

piles
of
paint
chips
can
also
spread
outside

To
keep
paint
chips
from
spreading
beyond
the
work
site,
make
sure
that
they
are
collected
as
they
are
created.
Also,
periodically
vacuum
(
with
HEPA

wet

dispose

paint
chips.
°
Wrapping

disposing
of

When
removing
painted
components
such
as
windows,
trim,
and
cabinets,
wrap
them
in
plastic
sheeting
and
dispose
of
them
in
stages.
This
will
prevent
the
spread
of
debris
and
keep
residents,
especially
children,
from
coming
into
contact
with
leaded
dust
created
by
work.

°
How
often
should
cleaning
during
the
job
take
place?
The
goal
is
to
keep
dust
and
debris
under
control,
not
to
maintain
a
completely
spotless
site
at
all
times.
Every
job
is
different,
so
clean
when
it
makes
sense
to
without
hindering
progress.
Remove
large
amounts
of
dust,
paint
chips,
and
debris
frequently,
at
least
daily.

of

You
may
take
notes
on
approaches
under
each
description.

Background
You
own
a
small
contracting
firm
which
has
been
hired
by
a
couple
to
renovate
the
interior
and
exterior
of
their
large
Victorian­
style
home
built
around
1910.
This
is
a
prominent
home
in
the
neighborhood
(
it
sits
on
the
corner)
and
you
are
looking
forward
to
doing
a
quality
job
and
getting
a
good
reference.
You
also
like
that
your
truck
parked
in
the
driveway
with
your
name
on
it
will
make
good
advertising
to
the
neighbors
who
drive
by.
Furthermore,
it
will
keep
you
and
your
workers
busy
for
at
least
three
solid
weeks.

As
the
law
requires,
you
give
the
couple
the
lead
pamphlet
Protect
Your
Family
from
Lead
in
Your
Home.
The
day
before
you
are
to
start
working,
they
call
and
ask
you
if
they
have
lead­
based
paint
in
their
home
and
whether
they
should
be
worried
about
it.
(
They
have
a
four­
year
old
daughter
and
plan
to
remain
in
the
house
during
the
two­
week
work
period).
You
inform
them
that,
short
of
having
the
place
tested,
you
have
no
way
of
knowing
for
sure.
To
be
safe,
you
tell
them
that
you
assume
that
some
layers
of
paint
in
the
home
are
lead­
based
paint.

You
get
the
feeling
that
they
are
having
second
thoughts
and
might
cancel
the
job.
You
inform
them
that
there
are
steps
that
can
be
taken
to
reduce
the
risk
of
creating
a
lead
hazard.
You
also
point
out
that
you
and
two
of
your
steady
workers
have
taken
an
EPA
course
on
how
to
do
work
safely.
This
seems
to
reassure
them
and
they
tell
you
to
go
ahead
as
planned.

On
the
Job:
Day
One
In
addition
to
yourself
and
your
two
experienced
employees,
you
have
hired
a
full­
time
worker
to
help
with
the
demolition
and
prep
work.
You
have
several
specific
jobs
in
mind
for
this
worker
which
are
listed
below.
Keeping
in
mind
that
your
clients
are
concerned
about
lead­
based
paint,
and
that
the
jobs
will
create
a
lot
of
debris
and
dust,
you
want
to
be
sure
that
the
jobs
are
done
right
and
use
safe
work
practices.
You
decide
that
the
best
course
of
action
is
to
take
the
time
to
explain
to
the
worker,
step­
by­
step,
how
to
do
each.

The
instructor
will
ask
you
and
the
others
in
the
class
to
give
instructions
the
new
worker.
Be
clear
about
what
safe
work
practices
you
want
used,
in
what
order,
and
the
tools
that
the
worker
will
need.
Also
tell
the
worker
how
you
want
the
work
site
prepared
and
what
you
want
it
to
look
like
before
the
next
stage
of
work
starts.
