SANDING LEAD BASED 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

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.

• Adust 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.

NOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working with lead paint dust and fumes should be used.
Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection. See your local hardware dealer for the proper
(NIOSH approved) 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.

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 miles thickness.
• Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking of paint dust outside the work area.

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.
