SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
Move the workpiece outdoors wherever
possible.
If this is not practical, keep the
work area well ventilated. Open all
windows. Place an exhaust fan in one
window, making sure it is moving the air
from inside the work area to the outdoors.
Remove all cooking utensils and food
from the work area.
Remove all carpets, rugs and furniture
from the work area where practical.
If
removal is not practical, move furniture to
the middle of the room and cover them
with a plastic drop cloth.
Seal off work areas from the rest of the
dwelling
by sealing off doorways with drop
cloths.
Cover all air ducts.
Place a drop cloth in the work area to
catch paint chips or peelings.
Wear protective clothing
to reduce the
amount of exposed skin .
Children, pregnant or potentially
pregnant women and nursing mothers
should not be present in the work area
until the work and cleanup have been
completed.
Use a respirator mask for dust and
fumes which has been approved by
“OSHA” or “NIOSH”.
These masks and
replaceable filters are available at most
major hardware stores. Make sure the
mask fits properly. Beards and facial hair
may prevent the maks from fitting properly.
Change filters often. Disposable paper
dust masks are NOT adequate for
protecting against inhaling lead fumes.
Keep the heat gun moving while heating
the paint.
Excessive heat will generate
increased amounts of fumes which can be
inhaled by the operator.
WARNING
– POISON HAZARD:
Extreme care must be taken when using
a heat gun to strip paint. The softened paint, residue and vapours of the paint may
contain lead which is poisonous. Any paint used in the construction industry prior to
1977 may contain lead. Once paint is applied to the surface, hand-to-mouth contact
can result in the ingestion of lead. Breathing the vapour resulting from the heating
process or dust from a sanding process may also result in the ingestion of lead.
Exposure to any amount of lead can cause irreversible brain and nervous system
damage. Young and unborn children are particularly vulnerable to lead poisoning.
Before starting any paint removal process you should determine if the paint you are
removing contains lead. Your local health authority or a professional who uses a paint
analyzer can determine the level of lead contained in the paint to be removed. Lead-
based paint must only be removed by a professional and must not be removed using a
heat gun.
