Description of the Videos
Exterior Work Practices. This video covers
how to properly conduct lead-safe work on the exterior, including the
proper steps for establishing exterior containment, setting up signs and
barriers, final cleaning, bagging waste and visual inspection. These
topics are covered in the order they would occur on a real job from
start to finish.
Interior Work Practices. This video
demonstrates how to properly conduct lead-safe work on the interior of a
home, including when and how to remove or cover furniture; how to
establish containment, including how to cover floors and seal doors and
HVAC systems; where to establish critical barriers to the work area; how
to clean after work has been completed; how to conduct the visual
inspection and cleaning verification; and finally, how to properly
gooseneck bagged waste.
Using EPA Recognized Test Kits. This video
teaches how to correctly use an EPA and Wisconsin recognized test kit to
determine if lead-based paint is present on components and surfaces that
will be affected by renovation work. The Wisconsin Department of Health
Services
recognizes the 3M™ LeadCheck Lead Test Kit
for use by certified Lead-Safe Renovators at the request of the
homeowner to test components to determine if lead-safe work methods are
required. The renovator must read and follow the instructions that come
with the test kit and test each component separately. Each testing
location and result must be documented in writing.
Personal Protection Equipment.
This video lists personal protection that may be needed to work
lead-safe and shows how to properly don and doff personal protective
equipment (PPE), as well as the steps for decontaminating and disposing
of used equipment.
