EQUIPMENT

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE):

For Laser Work:
1. Laser safety goggles/glasses
2. Respirator (NIOSH-approved with P100/HEPA filters or combination HEPA + organic vapor cartridges)
3. Protective clothing
4. Heat-resistant or leather gloves
5. Closed-toe shoes
6. Head covering
7. Face shield

For Lead-Based Paint Work:
1. Respirator (NIOSH-approved half-face or full-face with P100/HEPA filters: N100, R100, or P100 rated)
2. Full-body disposable coveralls
3. Gloves (Disposable nitrile, latex, or chemical-resistant)
4. Safety goggles or face shield
5. Disposable shoe covers/booties
6. Disposable head covering (painter’s hat or hood)

Worksite Safety:

Provide EPA "Renovate Right" pamphlet to clients before work starts; client acknowledgment

For Laser Work:
[Laser cleaning minimizes visible dust, but fumes require capture via laser's fume extraction system (if equipped) or supplemental local exhaust ventilation (LEV) with HEPA filtration]
1. Warning signs: Post at all entry points to controlled area
2. Laser Safety Officer (LSO) on site (our laser operators are also LSOs) for assessment, procedures, training, compliance
3. Establish Nominal Hazard Zone (NHZ): area where exposure could exceed safe limits (often several meters depending on power density, wavelength, reflections from surfaces like metal/brick)
4. Access control: Lockout/tagout laser when not in use; interlocks or remote shut-off if the laser supports it
5. Establish Nominal Hazard Zone (NHZ): area where exposure could exceed safe limits (often several meters depending on power density, wavelength, reflections from surfaces like metal/brick)
6. Barriers and sheeting: Combine with lead containment. Use opaque laser safety curtains, barriers, or screens rated for laser wavelength to block stray/scattered beams (reflective surfaces like metal can create hazards)
7. Erect physical barriers (e.g., fencing, cones, tape) around NHZ to prevent unauthorized entry. Exterior work: integrate with plastic sheeting for dual lead/laser containment
8. Fume extraction to capture Laser Generated Airborne Contaminants (LGAC) including lead vapors; vents safely away from people
9. Fire prevention: Extinguishers rated for electrical/laser fires
10. Test air quality if feasible

For Lead-Based Paint Work:
1. Warning signs at all approaches (exterior work: signs visible from 20 ft)
2. Containment/sheeting: heavy-duty (e.g., 6-mil) plastic sheeting to fully enclose work area and protect ground, nearby surfaces, windows, doors, and landscaping
3. Exterior work: vertical barriers (plastic sheeting on frames or scaffolding) to contain debris; secure sheeting to prevent escape of particles. Protect or remove movable items; cover fixed items
4. Access control: Restrict area with barriers (e.g., caution tape, fencing, or sheeting) to keep occupants, pets, and passersby out. Use entryway controls if needed
5. Cleanup: EPA protocols for wet cleaning methods, HEPA vacuuming, disposable wipes, and cleaning verification. No dry sweeping or standard vacuums
6. Waste disposal: Treat lead-contaminated debris/sheeting as hazardous waste per local/DC rules. Sealed containers and proper disposal
