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.

CLEANING AND DISPOSAL

1. 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.
2. 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.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by children should
be washed thoroughly before being used again.
