4. Shut Down and Lock Out electric power to the work areas. “Shut Down and Lock Out Power” means to switch off every electrical circuit breaker serving power or lighting circuits which run to, or through, the work area. Label circuit breakers with tape over the breakers with the notation “DANGER, Circuit being worked on” Lock the electrical panel or door with separate locks, one for the contractor’s supervisor and one for the Property Manager/Project Manager.

5. Provide temporary power and lighting to the work area. Power to and for the work area shall be brought in from outside the area through ground-fault circuit interrupters at the source.

6. Shut down and isolate heating, cooling, and ventilation air systems to prevent dispersal of dust and fibers from the work area into other areas of the building.

7. Seal off all openings to windows, corridors, doorways, skylights, ducts, grills, diffusers, and any other penetrations of the work areas, with six mil plastic or equivalent sheeting sealed with tape. Also seal seams in system components that pass through the work areas.

Section 02086-Lead Mitigation 13 4/5/17

Clean moveable objects within the proposed work area using HEPA filtered equipment and/or wet cleaning methods using water with a phosphate-containing detergent or trisodium phosphate (TSP), or a phosphate-free lead-dissolving detergent and remove the objects from work areas to a temporary location.

9. Utilize the “top-down” cleaning method to clean the designated work area prior to lead mitigation activities. Prior to cleaning, remove the contents of any cabinet, shelves, and removable miscellaneous materials within the “Designated Work Area”.

Open the HVAC return grills, vacuum the inside of the duct and the face of the grill.

HEPA vacuum surfaces, from top to bottom HEPA vacuum the floor.

12. Construct the Worker’s Decontamination Enclosure System and ensure that there is hot and cold running water in each shower enclosure and that the water temperature is controllable by the shower user.

13. Cover the floors and walls of the proposed work areas with plastic sheeting sealed with duct tape. Us a minimum of two layers of six mil plastic or equivalent on the floors (no plastic on the floors is required when the project includes removal of lead-based paint from the floor) and one layer of four mil plastic sheeting or equivalent on walls. Cover floors first so that plastic extends at least 12 inches up the walls, then cover walls with plastic sheeting to the floor level, thus overlapping the floor plastic by a minimum of 12 inches. Seams shall be staggered.

14. Remove and clean ceiling mounted objects such as light fixtures, electrical tracks, ventilation equipment, and other items that were not previously sealed off, that interfere with the work.

15. Maintain emergency and fire exits from the work area. Spray paint the wall plastic with red paint using arrows to indicate the direction to the exits from the work area. Each wall of the containment area must have a directional arrow painted on it. After the wall plastic is removed, paper signs with red arrows shall be affixed to each interior wall showing the direction to the work area exits.

Section 02086-Lead Mitigation 18 4/5/17

3. Seal electrical outlets or other fixtures in the mini-containment with a minimum of 1 layer of 6-mil poly.

4. Place a minimum of one layer of 6-mil poly (minimum) on the floor of the mini-containment. Place the floor poly layer a minimum of 18 inches up the wall to form an overlapping seal with the wall. Purpose is to contain plaster dust escaping from power saw during wall cutting procedures.

5. Place a “tacky mat” on the floor immediately outside the entrance to the mini-containment to aid worker in the personal decontamination process.

6. Seal the flexible inlet of a 1000 CFM (nominal) negative pressure HEPA filtration unit to the mini-containment. Exhaust the unit outside of the building.

7. Ensure poly barriers will remain in place when filtration unit is activated.

8. Place equipment necessary for…
