PART 2 - PRODUCTS [NOT USED]

PART 3 - EXECUTION

3.1 HIGH EXPOSURE RISK ACTIVITIES

A. Torch cutting and welding may not be done on a painted surface. Paint must first be removed.

B. Abrasive blasting is permitted on lead containing paint but if other techniques are practical, they are preferred. Prior to abrasive blasting on either lead-based paint or other paint, paint chip samples shall be collected and submitted for analysis for priority pollutant metals. Workers must be protected from exposure to other heavy metals. OSHA has separate standards for exposure to arsenic, cadmium, and chromium if any of these metals are detected.

3.2 LEAD CONTROL AREA

A. All work disturbing lead will be done in a lead regulated area. Only approved workers may enter the lead control area. The are must be marked by DANGER tape or sealed with plastic sheeting, as appropriate. OSHA required signs shall be posted at the entrance to the regulated area in English and in Spanish.

3.3 DECONTAMINATION

A. Lead dust and debris must be controlled such that it cannot leave the regulated area unless packaged for disposal

B. Hands and face must be washed each time a worker leaves a regulated area.

C. Workers exposed above the OSHA Permissible Exposure Limit must shower at the end of the shift.

3.4 WASTE MANAGEMENT

A. Roofing material shall be recycled, if practical. Otherwise, it shall be disposed as hazardous waste.

B. Paint chips shall be sampled and analyzed by the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Protocol (TCLP) for lead. If TCLP result is greater than 5 mg/L, waste is hazardous.

C. Wash water from hand wash station and shower shall be sampled and analyzed by TCLP for lead.

If TCLP result is greater than 5 mg/L, waste is hazardous.

D. Hazardous waste shall be transported in compliance with US DOT regulations.
