4) Work in one room at a time. Furnishings should be removed or placed in the
centre of the room and covered. Work areas should be sealed off from the rest
of the dwelling by sealing doorways with drop cloths.
5) Children, pregnant 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.
6) 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.
7) 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.
8) 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.
9) 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.
10) 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.
11) 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.
