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.
