Hud Guidelines Guaranteed Success

HUD GUIDELINES GUARANTEED SUCCESS lead poisoning causes: ️coma, convulsions, death lead ️heavy metal that is denser than most common materials. Lead is soft and malleable, and also has a relatively low melting point. Most at risk population for lead poisoning ️ 6 years old Neuro-toxic effects from lead: ️low IQ, attention deficit, learning/reading disabilities, hyperactivity, behavioral problems Leading cause of lead poisoning ️ingestion of leaded dust chelation therapy ️excretion of lead (heavy metals) from the body Title X Framework ️only federal grant program dedicated solely to providing individuals with comprehensive family planning and related preventive health services lead-based paint hazard ️any condition that causes exposure to lead from lead contamination dust; bare, lead-contaminated soil; or lead-based paint that is intact or deteriorated present on accessible surfaces, friction surfaces or impact surfaces paint inspection ️a surface-by-surface investigation of all painted surfaces using an XRF analyzer of lab analysis, can be performed by either a certified inspector technician or RA paint inspection purpose ️to identify the presence of lead-based paint risk assessment ️an on-site investigation of a residential dwelling for lead-based paint hazards and includes (but not limited to) a visual inspection; limited environmental samples; report of results with acceptable abatement and interim control strategies 3 types of lead hazard control ️1) interim control, 2) abatement of lead-based paint hazards, 3) complete abatement of lead-based paint interim control ️set of measures designed to temporarily reduce human exposure or likely exposure to lead-based paint hazards abatement of lead-based paint hazards ️any set of measures designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards not necessarily all lead-based paint complete abatement of lead-based paint ️the permanent control of all lead-based paint using the same methods as those included in the definition of abatement of lead-based paint hazards risk assessor ️certified professional who can ID lead-based paint hazards and provide recommendations to owners on acceptable option for controlling them inspector technician ️trained to ID lead-based paint on a surface-by-surface basis T/F no requirements of certification/training is required for interim control work ️True, but OSHA requires that workers dealing with lead-containing surfaces be trained preliminary determination of lead hazards control strategy ️condition of the property, age of the property, capital replacement plans types of insurance ️general liability (all parties), pollution liability (all parties, error and omission liability (consultants) Define project completion ️no interim control or abatement project is complete until compliance with clearance standards have been achieved and a final report prepared - the work area cannot be released to residents until a visual evaluation and dust sampling have been complete 5 basic precautions for older home renovation ️1)resident protection, 2) OSHA regulations, 3) waste management, 4) cleaning techniques, 5) final clearance Prohibited Activities ️1) open flame burning, 2) machine sanding without HEPA vacuum, 3) uncontained hydro-blasting/pressure washing, 4) heat guns over 1100F, 5) abrasive blasting without HEPA vacuum 2 broad types of evaluations to ID hazardous levels of lead ️risk assessment and paint inspection A property owner has a choice of the following evaluation options ️1) lead hazards screen risk assessment 2) risk assessment 3) paint inspection 4) combination risk assessment/paint inspection 5) no hazard evaluation (proceed directly to hazard control) 6) investigation of a child with BLL risk assessment must cover ️ID of the existence, nature, severity, source, and location of lead-based paint hazards (or documentation that no such hazards have been identified) - options for controlling hazards lead hazard screen risk assessment ️employs more limited sampling and more sensitive hazard ID
