♦ Place signs at all entrance to work areas to keep all those not performing the work out of the work area. <br />Component Repair <br />♦ Complete all necessary repairs to control moisture or fix the substrate problems that have created or contributed <br />to the lead based paint hazard. <br />♦ Repair component before applying new paint. <br />♦ Repair component that is generating dust (ie: windows, doors, etc.). <br />♦ Repair component so that it does not continue to damage painted surfaces. <br />♦ Repair plaster, drywall, or wood (if applicable). <br />♦ Repair defective surfaces before any new paint is applied. <br />Paint Stabilization <br />♦ Remove all loose surface contaminants - wetting surface to minimize dust as you work <br />♦ Repair any areas of the surface that are not in good condition. (see below) <br />♦ De -gloss surfaces to be painted using wet sanding or a de -glossing paint. <br />♦ Prepare surface by using an appropriate cleaning agent before applying new paint <br />♦ Use a primer before applying new paint to all surfaces <br />Work Practices <br />♦ Use wet methods to scrape and sand by misting surfaces before scraping and sanding. Continue to mist while <br />working. Dry scraping or sanding may only be done in very small areas near electrical outlets and light switches <br />and if flat surfaces below these areas are covered with protective sheeting. <br />♦ Mist before drilling and cutting to reduce dust creation and keep dust from becoming airborne and spreading <br />beyond the work area. An alternative to using wet methods when working with electrical tools consider the use <br />of foam (such as shaving cream) when cutting or drilling to reduce dust generation. <br />♦ If power tools that sand or grind are used, equip them with a HEPA vacuum attachment. Sanders and grinders <br />will release large quantities of dangerous lead dust if not controlled by the use of the HEPA vacuum exhaust <br />equipment. <br />♦ Abrasive blasting or sandblasting should be avoided without the proper HEPA exhaust equipment. <br />♦ Use a heat gun only if set below 1,100°. It is only recommended for small areas, such as the edge of a door, the <br />top of a window stool, or the friction surface of a window jamb. Open torches, infrared scorchers, electric irons, <br />and heat guns operating above 1,100 ° may cause the release of dangerous lead fumes, <br />♦ Scoring paint before separating components helps prevent paint from chipping when a paint seal is broken. <br />♦ Prying and pulling apart components and pulling nails create less dust and fewer paint chips than pounding out <br />components. Vise grips may be useful when pulling nails. <br />♦ No uncontained hydro blasting or high-pressure washing. Power washing often leaves leaded paint chips and dust <br />on soil and exterior pathways. Pressure washing should be done carefully controlling the resulting paint chips. <br />Paint chips should be caught in a floor covering and cleaned up promptly. <br />♦ No stripping lead-based paint with a volatile stripper unless properly ventilated by the circulation of outside air. <br />Methylene chloride paint strippers are not recommended. <br />Worksite Clean -Up <br />Risk AssessmentNo,: 84000015462 Addfoss: 628PARKAVE Page 21 of 23 <br />
