Lead paint removed from structural beam
Good Practice
This image shows an example of a safe work practice.
Summary Statement
The original structural beams in the older section of this facility had been painted with red lead (lead oxide) paint. A licensed lead paint abatement contractor was hired to properly remove enough paint so that planned renovations could be conducted without exposing workers. Grinding or cutting beams coated with lead-based paint can produce extremely high concentrations of airborne lead.
