Content: Although the application of lead paint is now a controlled substance, it is still available and approved for specific commercial and industrial applications. The chips and dust generated during surface preparation present a significant hazard because ingested lead is associated with severe neurological and developmental disorders, especially in young children. Transportation and disposal procedures must adhere to all EPA and other regulatory standards. Training and supervision of employees are critical. Workers compensation exposures vary based on the size and nature of the job. Caustics, paints and thinners generate fumes that can result in irritation to the eye, nose, throat, skin and lungs. Workers may be exposed to dust and chips containing lead. Back injury, hernia, sprains and strains can result from lifting. The use of power tools can result in cuts and burns. Casual labor and high turnover may be a problem, especially in the prep and cleanup work.
