controlling the contaminated dust. The
greatest danger of lead poisoning is to
children and pregnant women.
Since it is di cult to identify whether or not
a paint contains lead without a chemical
analysis, we recommend the following
precautions when sanding any paint:
Personal safety
• No children or pregnant women should
enter the work area where the paint
sanding is being done until all clean up is
completed.
• 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 di culty
breathing.
• Note: Only those dust masks suitable for
working with lead paint dust and fumes
should be used. Ordinary painting masks
do not o er this protection. See your
local hardware dealer for the proper
(NIOSH approved) mask.
• 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
• Paint should be removed in such a
manner as to minimize the amount of
dust generated.
• Areas where paint removal is occurring
should be sealed with plastic sheeting of
4 mils thickness.
• Sanding should be done in a manner to
reduce tracking of paint dust outside the
work area.
Cleaning and disposal
• All surfaces in the work area should be
vacuumed and thoroughly cleaned daily
for the duration of the sanding project.
(Original instructions)
Vacuum filter bags should be changed
frequently.
• 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.
• All toys, washable furniture and utensils
used by children should be washed
thoroughly before being used again.
Additional safety information
Warning: always use safety glasses.
Everyday eyeglasses are NOT safety
glasses. Also use face or dust mask
if cutting operation is dusty. Always
wear certified safety equipment:
• ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CPA
Z94.3),
• ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection
• NIOSH/OSHA/MSHA respiratory
protection.
Warning: Some dust created by
power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer,
birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints,
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
• Arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type
of work. To reduce your exposure to
these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with
