Lead-based paint was used on the inside and outside of homes and buildings before 1970. Today's paint can only contain trace amounts of lead if any at all. However, lead-based paint is still present in many homes, including those built after 1970, and exposure to this paint is a serious health issue. It is critical to understand whether sections of your home may have been painted with lead-based paint. When remodelling, refurbishing or repainting, lead-safe methods must be followed or your health and the health of your family may be harmed. As a result of lead exposure, the brain might be permanently damaged and intellectual growth can be hampered. The risk of lead exposure for children, as well as the health consequences of lead exposure, might vary depending on their surroundings, developmental stage, or behaviours. When it comes to lead exposure, children under the age of five are most at risk.

WHERE CAN BE FOUND & PROCEDURES

 

Lead-based paint may be found in many ancient buildings, posing serious health risks. The process of thoroughly and securely removing all lead-containing paints from a business or residential structure is known as lead paint removal. Leaking paint can be inhaled as it deteriorates, combined with dust and other household waste. This can result in lead poisoning. To remove the lead paint, we'll use a variety of procedures that are all focused on minimising danger depending on current condition and surroundings of Lead containing Material.

• Moderate Risk Procedures

• Modified- High Risk Procedures

• High Risk Procedures 

Lead in paint poses a considerable number of major health concerns if disturbed or discharged, and as such is governed by its own set of rules. Workplaces, where lead compounds are used, are the most prevalent source of lead exposure in Canada. After coming into touch with lead, workers may transport lead residues home on their work clothing, skin, hair, and equipment.

We've been removing lead paint from homes and businesses as follows. Highly trained and completely qualified professionals are paired with the most advanced lead paint removal equipment to ensure a job well done each and every time.

How do I know if my paint or coating contains lead?

To determine if paint is potentially hazardous we need to complete a series of tests.

Our experts at Hazpro Environmental first test for the lead content in paint. Anything higher than 0.009% by Wt. is considered as lead containing.

The second test for lead is the Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP) testing, to be performed on any lead containing materials present prior to disposal. Under the BC Hazardous Waste Regulation, materials with identified lead-based paint destined for disposal at a licensed landfill facility must be tested for leachability to determine if lead will contaminate your local water supply..

WorkSafeBC requires that worker exposure to airborne lead be kept below 0.05 mg/m3. Workplace exposures must be reduced to levels that are “As Low As Reasonably Achievable” (ALARA) below the exposure limit.
