Other Important Safety Warnings and Instructions
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.
•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.
•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mils

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.
