contain lead and paint applied to homes prior to 1950 is likely to contain lead. Once

deposited on surfaces, hand to mouth contact can result in the ingestion of lead.

Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system

damage; young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable.

protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls and hats.

5.
Children, pregnant or potentially pregnant women and nursing mothers
should not be present in the work area until the work is done and all clean
up is complete.
6.
Wear dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator mask
which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and Health Adminis-
tration (OSHA), the National Institute of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the
United States Bureau of Mines. These masks and replaceable filters are
readily available at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards
and facial hair may keep masks from sealing properly. Change filters often.
DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
7.
Use caution when operating the heat gun. Keep the heat gun moving as
excessive heat will generate fumes which can be inhaled by the operator.
8.
Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms and face
and rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do not smoke or chew gum or
tobacco in the work area.
9.
Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors. Use a wet
cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other surface where paint or dust is
clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate
detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas.
10.
At the end of each work session put the paint chips and debris in a double
plastic bag, close it with tape or twist ties and dispose of properly.
11.
Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area to avoid carrying
dust into the rest to the dwelling. Wash work clothes separately. Wipe shoes
off with a wet rag that is then washed with the work clothes. Wash hair and
body thoroughly with soap and water.
