Precautions to Take When Sanding Paint
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.
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:
1. 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 difficulty breathing.
See your local hardware store for the proper NIOSH-
approved dust 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.
2. 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.
3. ClEAning AnD DisPOsAl
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.
‑ 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.
