Precautions to Take When Working on a
Painted Workpiece (Fig. D)
1. Sanding or wire brushing of lead based paint is NOT
RECOMMENDED due to the difficulty of controlling
the contaminated dust. The greatest danger of lead
poisoning is to children and pregnant women.
2. Since it is difficult to identify whether or not a paint
7
contains lead without a chemical analysis, we
9
recommend the following precautions when sanding
any paint:
Personal Safety
1. No children or pregnant women should enter the work
area where the paint sanding or wire brushing is being
done until all clean up is completed.
2. 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.
nOTE: Only those dust masks suitable for working
with lead paint dust and fumes should be used.
Ordinary painting masks do not offer this protection.

approved mask.
3. 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 on them.

Environmental Safety

1. Paint should be removed in such a manner as to
minimize the amount of dust generated.
2. Areas where paint removal is occurring should be sealed
with plastic sheeting of 4 mils thickness.
3. Sanding should be done in a manner to reduce tracking
of paint dust outside the work area.

Cleaning and Disposal

1. 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
changed frequently.
2. 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 work area.
3. All toys, washable furniture and utensils used by
children should be washed thoroughly before being
used again.
