| Question: |
One
of our gutter installers had a question and I am hopeful that you
can clear it up for us. If he is removing gutters with no lead from
a fascia board that tests positive, is he or is he not
"disturbing" enough to require lead-safe work practices? |
|
Answer:
|
If the gutters are
attached every few feet by nails or screws then the areas of
disturbance would likely be just the nail/screw holes and would not
add up to 20 sq. feet. However, if the gutters themselves are
painted, then they must be counted in the square footage
determination and would most likely meet the 20 sq. foot minimum for
the rule to kick in.
