Precautions To Take When Sanding Paint
1. Sanding 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 contains
lead without a chemical analysis, we 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 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. See your local hardware dealer for the proper
N.I.O.S.H. 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.
ENVIRON M ENTAL 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.
