![]() All new contracts for Federal, State, and local departments of transportation should include specifications for a mandatory program of worker protection from lead poisoning during the maintenance, repainting, or demolition of bridges and other steel structures. Airborne lead concentrations and blood lead concentrations should be monitored to determine the effectiveness of controls and PPE. Lead dust at the worksite may also result in contamination of workers’ homes and automobiles.įor the construction industry, NIOSH and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) have recently recommended that exposure to lead dust and fumes be minimized by the use of engineering controls and work practices, and by the use of personal protective equipment (PPE)–including respirators–for additional protection. ![]() Furthermore, the recent introduction of containment structures (enclosures designed to reduce environmental contamination by capturing particles of paint and used blasting material) may result in even higher airborne concentrations of lead. Operations such as abrasive blasting, sanding, burning, cutting, or welding on steel structures coated with lead-containing paints may produce very high concentrations of lead dust and fumes. NIOSH recently learned of 42 workers who developed lead poisoning while working on bridges. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) requests assistance in preventing the lead poisoning *of workers engaged in the maintenance, repainting, or demolition of bridges or other steel structures coated with lead-containing paints. This includes Salt Lake City, Ogden, Park City, Provo, South Jordan, Draper, Sandy, Bountiful, Herriman, Kaysville, West Valley, Midvale, Orem, Alpine, Highland, Eagle Mountain and surrounding areas.WARNING!
