1.0 GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1.1. Background Information

Lead-based paint (LBP) and lead-containing paint (LCP) is present on various surfaces throughout the building. Any of the Contractor activities that may generate leaded dust or impact a leaded surface shall be responsible for regulating their work area so that dust migration is contained properly within the regulated area. Once the work is complete, the Contractor shall be responsible for the proper clean up and disposal of leaded dust and materials. The goal is to provide a safe working environment minimizing exposure to lead-containing dusts.

The following plan outlines work practices required at this site. This work will be contracted under a single contract and other specifications, drawings, and general provisions of the contract referenced under other specifications provided by Architect shall apply.

1.2. Scope of Work

1. Lead-containing paint present during cutting or demolition operations.

Contractor shall prepare a plan to address areas in which cutting on lead-containing materials will occur. Contractors work plan shall include, but not be limited to, the following: worker protection, environmental/site impact, and disposal.

E. Contractor must furnish all permits, labor, material, services, insurance, tools, equipment (including, but not limited to, power and water), and notifications in accordance with EPA, OSHA, State, and all other applicable agencies to complete the work scoped. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to be aware of and obtain all permits necessary to complete the scope of work.

F. Where in the performance of the Work, workers, supervisory personnel, subcontractors, or consultants may encounter, disturb, or otherwise function in the immediate vicinity of any identified lead-containing materials, take appropriate continuous measures as necessary to protect all building occupants from the potential hazard of exposure to airborne lead. Such measures will include the procedures and methods described herein, and compliance with regulations of applicable federal, state, and local agencies.

1.6. Definitions

A. Action Level: Employee exposure, without regard to use of respirators, to an airborne concentration of lead of 30 micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m3) of air averaged over an 8-hour period. As used in this section, “30 micrograms per cubic meter of air" refers to the action level.

B. Area Monitoring: Sampling of lead concentrations within the lead control area and inside the physical boundaries which is representative of the airborne lead concentrations which may reach the breathing zone of personnel potentially exposed to lead.

C. Physical Boundary: Area physically roped or partitioned off around an enclosed lead control area to limit unauthorized entry of personnel. As used in this section, "inside boundary" shall mean the same as "outside lead control area."

D. Change Rooms and Shower Facilities: Rooms within the designated physical boundary around the lead control area equipped with separate storage facilities for clean protective work clothing and equipment and for street clothes which prevent cross-contamination.

E. Competent Person: A person capable of identifying lead hazards in the work area and is authorized by the Contractor to take corrective action.

F. Decontamination Room: Room for removal of contaminated personal protective equipment (PPE).

G. Delaminated Paint: A peeling or otherwise structurally compromised paint system that is subject under normal conditions to potentially release paint and primer particles, as well as those systems that are in such condition that they will likely release particles from the forces that are expected to act upon it.

H. Eight-Hour Time Weighted Average (TWA): Airborne concentration of lead averaged over an 8-hour workday to which an employee is exposed.

I. High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) Filter Equipment: HEPA filtered vacuuming equipment with a UL 586 filter system capable of collecting and retaining lead-containing paint dust. A high efficiency particulate filter means 99.97 percent efficient against 0.3 micron size particles.

J. Lead: Metallic lead, inorganic lead compounds, and organic lead soaps. Excluded from this definition are other organic lead compounds.

K. Lead-Based Paint (LBP): Paint or other surface coating that contains lead in excess of 1.0 milligrams per centimeter squared utilizing X-ray Fluorescence techniques or 0.5% lead by weight by laboratory analysis. Paints or coatings meeting this definition are considered to be LBP by regulation and are subject to disposal standards.

L. Lead Containing Paint (LCP): Lead-based paint or other similar surfaces or coatings containing lead or lead compounds which contain detectable levels of lead and are regulated under the OSHA standard (29 CFR 1926.62). Any condition that causes exposure to lead from lead-contaminated dust, lead-contaminated soil, lead-based paint that is deteriorated or present in accessible surfaces, friction surfaces, or impact surfaces that would result in adverse human health effects.

M. Lead Control Area: An enclosed area or structure with full containment to prevent the spread of lead dust, paint chips, or debris of lead-containing paint removal operations. The lead control area is isolated by physical boundaries to prevent unauthorized entry of personnel.

N. PEL: Permissible Exposure Limit. The PEL for lead is 50 ug/m3 (0.05 mg/m3) for an 8-hour exposure.

O. Paint: Means paint and primer systems

P. Personal Sampling: Sampling of airborne lead concentrations within the breathing zone of an employee to determine the 8-hour time weighted average concentration in accordance with 29 CFR 1926.62. Samples shall be representative of the employee’s work tasks. Breathing zone shall be considered an area within a hemisphere, forward of the shoulders, with a radius of 6 to 9 inches and centered at the nose or mouth of an employee.
