Slide 2-1: Module 2 Setting Up Your Workspace to Contain Lead Dust


$ This is the module title slide.

$ Announce the module and move quickly to the next slide.

Overview of this module: The table below summarizes the content and teaching methods for
this module. This is for your reference. Do not cover this with the participants.
Module 2: Set Up Your Workspace to Contain Lead Dust 1 hour

What is containment?

Interior containment

Exterior containment

Special considerations for high dust
jobs

Activity: Hands-on set-up exercise
Key message: Keep the dust in the work
area and make it easier to clean up.

Notes: Slides are followed by an exercise.

Slides: 30 minutes

Hands-On Exercise: Students set
up containment in a small area.
They lay plastic and secure it.
Trainer demonstrates how to do a
door flap. (30 minutes)

Preparing for this module: Prepare
materials for hands-on exercise and
identify appropriate locations for groups to
work in.

Materials needed: See Set-Up Toolkit for
list of materials needed.

Options: The trainer can replace the
hands-on exercise on set-up with a paper-
based exercise in which students look at
pictures of worksites and identify good and
bad practices. See Appendix 7 for
Optional Exercise #2. (The trainer must
use one of these two exercises.) The
trainer may also choose to use the hands-
on exercise later, as part of a
comprehensive hands-on exercise (as
shown in Lesson Plan #2).

Slide 2-2: Module 2 Overview


$ This module covers the bulleted list of topics on the slide. Review this list with the class
participants. Do not spend a lot of time on this slide as the slides in the rest of the module
will answer many questions that arise.

$ Module objective. The purpose of this module is to learn how to follow a few simple set-up
techniques that will stop the spread of lead-contaminated dust to non-work areas.

$ It is critical on this slide that participants understand the distinction between high dust and
low dust jobs. The concept of high dust jobs is discussed throughout the course. The
working definition in the participant notes is an informal definition that the participants may
use as a guideline to differentiate between high and low dust jobs.

$ Ask the participants for examples of high and low dust jobs. Ask them about the
reasoning behind their examples why one particular job is high dust and another low
dust?

$ Emphasize to the participants that the work practices and equipment used on a job and
the size of the job are factors that will affect the amount of dust generated. For example,
vigorous hand sanding a large work area could create enough dust that it might extend
beyond five feet from the work area.

Module 2 Overview
What is containment?
Four steps for interior activities
Special considerations for high dust jobs
Two steps for exterior activities
Special considerations for high dust jobs
Upon completion of this module you will be able to
Perform set-up techniques to contain lead dust and allow for easier clean-up at the end of the day and at the
completion of the job.
Identify appropriate set-up techniques for high dust jobs that may require additional containment.
What is a high dust job?
A working definition of a high dust job is one that creates dust and debris that will spread beyond five feet from the
area that you are working on. Conversely, a low dust job is one in which dust and debris will not spread beyond
five feet from the work area.
In general, jobs that involve only a small work area create less dust than jobs that involve a larger work area.
However, in addition to the size of the job, the work practices (e.g., sanding), and equipment (e.g., power sander)
used will affect how much dust is created. So, for example, using a power sander without a HEPA-filter vacuum
attachment on a two square foot area could be considered a high dust job. Using power tools equipped with HEPA
filtered vacuum attachments will create less dust than using power tools without these attachments.
Examples of high dust jobs include:
Hand-scraping large areas
Using power sanders (e.g., orbital, belt) without HEPA equipped vacuum attachments and shrouds
Using electric planer without a HEPA equipped vacuum attachment and shroud
Removing paint with a heat gun and scraper
Using circular or reciprocating saw
Removing dry residue and paint after using chemical strippers
Demolishing painted surfaces using hand or power tools
Removing building components with painted surfaces that are in poor condition Lead Safety for Remodeling, Repair, and Painting

Slide 2-3: What is Containment?


$ This slide may best be covered using a question and answer format. The following slides in
the module identify equipment needed and how to do containment set-up, so don=t try to
cover everything in the module on this slide.

$ Questions for class discussion:
$ How does containment protect co-workers and residents? [Answer: keeps lead-
contaminated dust in a specific area with workers who are trained and working with or
wearing proper equipment. It also keeps residents out of the work area until the job and
clean-up is complete.]
$ How does containment make clean-up easier at the end of a job? [Answer: by limiting
the clean-up area to approximately the work area or two feet beyond the work area.]

$ Highlight the HUD requirement for containment in pre-1978 properties that receive Federal
housing assistance, as explained in the participant notes.

What is containment?
In general, there are many degrees of containment, ranging from simple plastic sheeting on the floor surrounding a
small work area to a fully sealed dust room (discussed later in this module). Some types of containment are more
effective than other types. For example, a drop cloth might be considered a form of containment by some, but
because it is reusable and can trap and hold dust and paint chips, it can transport lead-contaminated dust from one
job site to another. It is not an effective form of containment for working in homes with lead-based paint.
For purposes of this training, containment is anything that stops lead-contaminated dust from spreading beyond the
work area to non-work areas.
Benefits of containment
Reduces the risk to you and residents. Following the work area set-up suggestions of this module will protect you,
your co-workers, and residents from the negative health effects of lead while remodeling, renovating, or painting.
Reduced risk to you and co-workers is also dependent upon wearing proper personal protection equipment.
Easier clean-up. The pre-work set-up process is essential to keeping lead contaminated dust within the work area
where it can be easily cleaned. Proper containment of the work area helps to limit the areas you need to clean up
after the job is complete. This saves time and money for clean-up.

What Is Containment?
Keeping lead-contaminated dust in the work
area
Benefits of containment
Protects residents and workers
Easier clean-up at the end of the job
In pre-78 properties that receive Federal housing assistance, containment is required.
Most work that disturbs paint in pre-1978 properties that receive Federal assistance, such as
assistance from HUD or the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service, requires
that containment be set up as show in this training. For work in these properties, use
containment or check with the agency administering the assistance. Also check with the
agency administering the assistance to find out if the occupants will be relocated during some
or all of the work. Lead Safety for Remodeling, Repair, and Painting
