43. Regulations under Development Public and Commercial Buildings . This Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking announces EPA's intention to regulate renovations on the exteriors of public and commercial buildings. Buildings and Structures Training and Certification (TSCA section 402) : Seeks to establish training, certification, and work practice standards for individuals and firms conducting lead-based paint activities in public buildings (except child-occupied facilities), commercial buildings, and steel structures. TSCA and RCRA Proposed Rulemakings for Lead-Based Paint Debris Disposal : Seeks to establish new standards for the management and disposal of lead-based paint (LBP) debris generated by individuals or firms.

Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair, and Painting Feb 09 Hold UP the phone jack and pass out the Lead Tubes. Federal standards define lead-based paint. Lead-based paint is any paint or surface coatings that contain lead equal to or in excess of 1.0 milligram per square centimeter or more than 0.5 percent by weight. Paint with concentrations of lead lower than the definition above can still cause health problems. Even paint with a small amount of lead can account for a lot of lead in airborne or settled dust. Information on how to determine if a property contains lead-based paint is provided in Module 3. Some states and localities regulate paint with lower concentrations of lead. You should check with your state and local health departments to see if they have requirements that are more stringent than the Federal requirements. Why was lead added to paint? Lead was added for color and durability. Lead was also added to some other surface coatings, such as varnishes and stains. Lead-based paint was banned from residential use in 1978 In 1978, the Consumer Products Safety Commission banned the sale of lead-based paint for residential use. In practice, this means that homes built in 1978 could still have used lead-based paint, because existing supplies of paint containing lead would still have been available. This is why the year of construction is such an important consideration.

Lead Safety for Renovation, Repair, and Painting Feb 09 The EPA Renovation, Repair, and Painting Rule does not specifically address what measures must be taken to reduce the amount of dust generated on the job. Rather, the rule lists three Prohibited Practices that must not be used on the job. Open-flame burning or torching. Heat gun above 1,100º F (degrees Fahrenheit). The use of machines that remove lead-based paint through high-speed operation such as sanding, grinding, planing, needle gun, abrasive blasting, or sandblasting is prohibited unless such machines are used with attached HEPA-filtered local capture ventilation. A key to minimizing the spread of dust and paint chips is not to use certain traditional work practices known to create large amounts of dust and debris. Open-flame burning or torching of paint and using a heat gun above 1,100º F create very fine leaded dust particulates (“fume”) that are dangerous for workers to breathe. The small leaded dust particles created by burning and heating also settle on surrounding surfaces and are very hard to clean up. Power sanding, power grinding, power planing, needle guns, abrasive blasting, and sandblasting create a large amount of dust that floats in the air and then settles on surfaces inside and outside of the work area. These activities are prohibited unless equipped with attached HEPA-filtered local capture ventilation devices to control the dust-laden exhaust. See Appendix 5 Steps to LEAD SAFE Renovation, Repair and Painting for more information. The practices listed on the slide are also prohibited in pre-1978 properties with lead-based paint that receive Federal housing assistance. The HUD Rule also prohibits extensive dry scraping and sanding by hand , and paint stripping in a poorly ventilated space using a volatile paint stripper. States, localities or tribes may also prohibit these practices.
