ADDITIONAL SAFETY RULES FOR PAINT REMOVAL
WARNING: Extreme care should be taken when removing paint. The
peelings, residue, and vapors of paint may contain lead, which is
poisonous. Exposure to even low levels of lead can cause
irreversible brain and nervous system damage; young and unborn
children are particularly vulnerable.
Before beginning any paint removal process you should determine whether
the paint you are removing contains lead. This can be done by your local
health department or by a professional who uses a paint analyzer to check for
lead.
LEAD-BASED PAINT SHOULD ONLY BE REMOVED BY A PROFESSIONAL.
Persons removing paint should follow these guidelines:
1. KEEP THE WORK AREA WELL VENTILATED. Open the windows and
put an exhaust fan in one of them. Be sure the fan is moving air from inside
to outside.
2. REMOVE OR COVER any carpets, rugs, furniture, clothing, cooking
utensils and air ducts.
3. PLACE DROP CLOTHS in the work area to catch any paint chips or
peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work shirts, overalls and hats.
4. WORK IN ONE ROOM AT A TIME. Furnishings should be removed or
placed in the center of the room and covered. Work areas should be sealed
off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.
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 cleanup is complete.
6. WEAR A DUST RESPIRATOR or a dual filter (dust and fume) respirator
mask which has been approved by the Occupational Safety and Health
Administration (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 the masks from sealing properly. Change filters
often. DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
7. 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.
