be possible. IPM includes cleaning up lead-contaminated dust,
chipping, and peeling paint, and taking steps to stabilize lead-
based paint to prevent additional peeling paint. IPM also
includes monitoring surfaces painted with lead-based paint and
appropriate periodic clean up of lead-contaminated dusty
surfaces. It also requires maintenance and repair work be
carried out with attention to the potential for creating lead
hazards.

Removal. The Navy Guide Specification, NFGS-13283,
Removal and Disposal of Lead-Containing Paint, and the Army Corps
of Engineers Guide Specification (CEGS) 02090, Removal of Lead-
Based Paint, provide guidance for removal of leaded paint in both
residential and non-residential structures. The following issues
must be considered for both types of structures:
a)
Occupant safety
b)
Building contents
c)
Worker safety
d)
Environmental protection (containment of debris)
e)
Cleanup
f)
Waste disposal
Detailed guidance for paint removal from residential
structures can be found in the HUD guidelines. The SSPC has
prepared three documents dealing with issues pertaining to
removal of lead-containing paint from industrial structures:
SSPC Guide 6I; SSPC Guide 7I, Disposal of Lead-Contaminated
Surface Preparation Debris, and SSPC QP2, Evaluating the
Qualifications of Painting Contractors to Remove Hazardous Paint.
3.4.4.4

maintenance activities may disturb lead-containing paint, for
example repairing a light fixture. In these situations, special
precautions are needed to:
a)
Protect the worker
b)
Control the spread of the dust that is generated
c) Ensure that debris is collected, handled, and
disposed of properly
