  • Title: A blueprint for lead hazards.
    Author: Rekus JF.
    Journal: Occup Health Saf; 1994 Jan; 63(1):24-9, 37. PubMed ID: 9156424.
    Abstract:
    OSHA has been criticized heavily during the last decade for not providing construction workers the same level of protection afforded employees in general industry. Now that it has adopted this standard, it would not be surprising if it decided to flex its newfound muscle by targeting the construction industry for lead inspections this spring. It is January now, and construction activity in most of the country will be slow until March or April. Smart contractors should use this slack time to formulate a compliance strategy, weigh their options and develop a management plan. It is also a good time to begin obtaining cost estimates for air monitoring, ventilation equipment, hygiene facilities and medical surveillance.
