NOTE: Sampling results of previous jobs or initial
monitoring during the job determine the requirements
for further monitoring and the need to fully
implement the control and protective requirements.
Some PWL or MCL work may not require full
implementation of the requirements of 29 CFR
1926.62. Based on the experience of the Contractor
or the use of a specific process or method for
performing the work, the Contractor may be able to
provide historic data (previous 12 months) to
demonstrate that airborne exposures are controlled
below the action level. Such methods or controls
shall be fully presented in the Lead Compliance
Plan.
**************************************************************************
If initial monitoring is necessary, submit occupational and environmental
sampling results to the Contracting Officer within three working days of
collection, signed by the testing laboratory employee performing the
analysis, the employee that performed the sampling, and the CP.
[ In order to reduce the full implementation of 29 CFR 1926.62, the
Contractor shall provide documentation. Submit a report that supports the
determination to reduce full implementation of the requirements of 29 CFR
1926.62 and supporting the Lead Compliance Plan.]
a. The initial monitoring shall represent each job classification, or
if working conditions are similar to previous jobs by the same
employer, provide previously collected exposure data that can be used
to estimate worker exposures per 29 CFR 1926.62. The data shall
represent the worker's regular daily exposure to lead for stated work.
b. Submit worker exposure data gathered during the task based trigger
operations of 29 CFR 1926.62 with a complete process description. This
includes manual demolition, manual scraping, manual sanding, heat gun,
power tool cleaning, rivet busting, cleanup of dry expendable
abrasives, abrasive blast enclosure removal, abrasive blasting,
welding, cutting and torch burning where lead containing coatings are
present.
c. The initial assessment shall determine the requirement for further
monitoring and the need to fully implement the control and protective
requirements including the lead compliance plan per 29 CFR 1926.62.
1.5.2.4
Medical Examinations
Initial medical surveillance as required by 29 CFR 1926.62 shall be made
available to all employees exposed to lead at any time (1 day) above the
action level. Full medical surveillance shall be made available to all
employees on an annual basis who are or may be exposed to lead in excess of
the action level for more than 30 days a year or as required by 29 CFR
1926.62. Adequate records shall show that employees meet the medical
surveillance requirements of 29 CFR 1926.33, 29 CFR 1926.62 and 29 CFR
1926.103. Provide medical surveillance to all personnel exposed to lead as
indicated in 29 CFR 1926.62. Maintain complete and accurate medical
records of employees for the duration of employment plus 30 years.
