A lead worker is trained to perform abatements.
This workshop is a 2-day class for persons performing abatement of lead-based paint. This class is specifically designed for lead hazard control activities in residential single-family and multiple-family dwellings which include elevated blood level (EBL) health department ordered projects, USHUD grant programs, public and Indian housing and military abatement projects.
In the hands-on exercises, participants will have demonstrated and practice establishment of a containment area and multi-stage decontamination areas. Participants will don appropriate personal protective equipment including respiratory protection and disposable coveralls with hood, gloves, and boots. Performance will be corrected and discussed.
A mock abatement will be conducted in a residential or near-residential setting (or where necessary in a mock up) where participants working in small groups will prepare for abatement by covering floors with 6 mil plastic covering ducts and penetrations, and constructing "I" or "Z" doors. Abatement and clean up methods will be discussed in a plenary with instructors. Instructors will critique student skills and mock reports and encourage mutual criticism and skills building in the exercises. Mutual criticism, discussion, and instructor feedback will be used to assess skills.
