• Remove or cover any carpets, rugs, furniture, cooking utensils,
and air ducts.
• Place drop cloths in the work area to catch any paint chips or
peelings. Wear protective clothing such as extra work shirts,
overalls and hats.
• Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed
or placed in the center of the room and covered. Work areas
should be sealed off from the rest of the dwelling by sealing
doorways with drop cloths.
• Children, pregnant women or potentially pregnant women and
nursing mothers should not be present in the work area until the
work is done and all clean up is complete.
• Wear a dust respirator mask or a dual filter (dust and fume)
respirator mask which has been approved by the Occupational
Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the National Institute
of Safety and Health (NIOSH), or the United States Bureau of
Mines. These masks and replaceable filters are readily available
at major hardware stores. Be sure the mask fits. Beards and
facial hair may keep masks from sealing properly. Change filters
often. DISPOSABLE PAPER MASKS ARE NOT ADEQUATE.
• Use caution when operating the heat gun. Keep the heat gun
moving as excessive heat will generate fumes which can be
inhaled by the operator.
• Keep food and drink out of the work area. Wash hands, arms
and face and rinse mouth before eating or drinking. Do not
smoke or chew gum or tobacco in the work area.
• Clean up all removed paint and dust by wet mopping the floors.
Use a wet cloth to clean all walls, sills and any other surface
where paint or dust is clinging. DO NOT SWEEP, DRY DUST
OR VACUUM. Use a high phosphate detergent or trisodium
phosphate (TSP) to wash and mop areas.
• At the end of each work session put the paint chips and debris in
a double plastic bag, close it with tape or twist ties, and dispose
of properly.
• Remove protective clothing and work shoes in the work area
to avoid carrying dust into the rest of the dwelling. Wash work
clothes separately. Wipe shoes off with a wet rag that is then
washed with the work clothes. Wash hair and body thoroughly
with soap and water.
