CLEANING AND DISPOSAL
3.5.1
Cleanup
Maintain surfaces of the lead control area free of accumulations of paint
chips and dust. Restrict the spread of dust and debris; keep waste from
being distributed over the work area. Do not dry sweep or use compressed
air to clean up the area. At the end of each shift and when the paint
removal operation has been completed, clean the area of visible lead paint
contamination by vacuuming with a HEPA filtered vacuum cleaner, wet mopping
the area and wet wiping the area as indicated by the CP. Reclean areas
showing dust or residual paint chips or debris. After visible dust, chips
and debris is removed, wet wipe and HEPA vacuum all surfaces in the work
area. If adjacent areas become contaminated at any time during the work,
clean, visually inspect, and then wipe sample all contaminated areas. The
CP shall then certify in writing that the area has been cleaned of lead
contamination before restarting work.
3.5.1.1
Clearance Certification
**************************************************************************
NOTE: The second paragraph must be used for high
profile, sensitive work such as present in family
housing, child care facilities, kitchens, etc. For
work in administrative buildings or the conversion
of industrial lead work areas (e.g., firing ranges)
into non-industrial work areas open for public
access, use the third paragraph otherwise delete.
For industrial buildings, use visual clearance only.
Surface dust sampling to determine clearance (i.e.,
that the work has not contaminated surfaces within
and adjacent to the control area) should be
performed by a third party to avoid a conflict of
interest. The last paragraph must be used for
lead-based paint hazard abatement work.
**************************************************************************
The CP shall certify in writing that air samples collected outside the lead
control area during paint removal operations are less than 30 micrograms
per cubic meter of air; the respiratory protection used for the employees
was adequate; the work procedures were performed in accordance with 29 CFR
1926.62 and 40 CFR 745; and that there were no visible accumulations of
material and dust containing lead left in the work site. Do not remove the
lead control area or roped off boundary and warning signs prior to the
Contracting Officer's acknowledgement of receipt of the CP certification.
[ The third party consultant shall certify surface wipe sample results
collected inside and outside the work area are [less than 40 micrograms per
