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:
1. PERSONAL SAFETY
‑ No children or pregnant women should enter the work
area where the paint sanding is being done until all
clean up iscompleted.
‑ 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 dustmask.
‑ Connect a suitable dust extractor.
‑ 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 onthem.
2. ENVIRONMENTAL SAFETY
‑ Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dustgenerated.
‑ Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4milsthickness.
‑ Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
of paint dust outside the workarea.
3. 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
changedfrequently.
‑ 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 workarea.
‑ All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by
children should be washed thoroughly before being
usedagain.
