1072. 3(h) 1072. 3(i) DANGER LEAD WORK AREA LEAD MAY DAMAGE FERTILITY OR THE UNBORN CHILD. CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. DO NOT EAT, DRINK OR SMOKE IN THIS AREA

Use signs that are a minimum of 215 mm (8 1/2 inches) by 275 mm (11 inches) in size with black block lettering on a white, yellow, or orange background. Do not use caution ribbons as a substitute for signs. Conduct sampling according to NIOSH Method 7082 or equivalent for lead and other metals of concern at the pre -established boundaries of the regulated area(s). Collect the samples throughout an entire work shift upon commencement of the coating removal acti vities (at project -start-up). If the monitoring confirms that project emissions at the established boundary do not exceed the Action Level as an eight -hour TWA, establish the boundary at that location and discontinue monitoring. If the monitoring shows that the emissions exceed the Action Level, modify and improve work practices and containment to provide better controls over the emissions or reestablish the boundary at a different location. Repeat the monitoring in either case. After the boundaries have been established through instrument monitoring, additional monitoring is not required unless directed, if suspect visible emissions occur, or there are changes to the work practices or equipment being used within the regulated areas. In these cases, conduct add itional monitoring to confirm the adequacy of the control systems in place, and to verify the suitability of the existing regulated area(s). Verify that cassettes are only analyzed by laboratories that have been accepted for use by the Department. Have the laboratory provide results within 72 hours of the field sampling. Provide the test results to the Department verbally within one day of rece ipt, and in writing within one week thereafter. Verify that workers who enter the regulated area have had the proper training, blood analysis and medical examinations, and are wearing the required protective clothing and equipment. Prohibit eating, drinking , smoking, and chewing of food or tobacco products in areas where the exposures exceed the Action Level.

13.Recordkeeping. Retain records related to training, medical examinations, blood analysis, exposure

monitoring, respirator fit testing, inspections by a competent person, and other related project documentation on file at the project site. Provide the Department with letter reports signed by a CIH that summarize examination results that
