CAUTION
SANDING LEAD BASED 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:
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.
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 (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. 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.
DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in
death or serious injury.
WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in
death or serious injury.
CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor
or moderate injury.
CAUTION: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a potentially hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, may result in property damage.
