Documented methodologies and all of the following work practice requirements shall be used to protect occupants when abatement activities are performed: DHS 163.14(1)(e)1.1. ‘Post signs.’ Signs clearly defining the work area and warning occupants and other persons not involved in the abatement activities to remain outside the work area. These signs shall be in the primary language of the occupants. Signs shall be posted before beginning the work and shall remain in place and readable until the abatement activities and clearance have been completed. DHS 163.14(1)(e)2.a.a. If paint chips, dust, or debris are present on the interior, HEPA vacuum the floor before protective sheeting is laid down and HEPA vacuum window wells or troughs before working on windows. DHS 163.14(1)(e)2.b.b.

DHS 163.14(1)(e)3.3. ‘Contain work areas.’ Before starting abatement activities, contain the work area, including the floor or ground, with heavy duty plastic sheeting, so that no dust or debris leaves the work area during the activity. Workers shall maintain the integrity of the containment throughout the abatement activities by ensuring that the plastic sheeting used as containment material is not torn or displaced, and that no dust or debris leaves the work area during the abatement. When the building is occupied, containment shall be installed in a manner that provides safe access to restrooms and exits for occupants. Containment may not be constructed in a manner that would interfere with emergency exit. All containment materials, including plastic sheeting, must be disposed of after one use and may not be relocated for reuse during a project.

Warning tape may be used to prevent unintentional access into work areas in addition to the posted warning signs. If access is granted before clearance has been successfully achieved, a notice shall be posted that states: ”This worksite has not yet met clearance requirements. Lead-based paint hazards may be present.” DHS 163.14(1)(e)7.7. ‘Prepare an occupant protection plan.’ Before starting an abatement project, a certified lead abatement supervisor or project designer shall prepare a written occupant protection plan on a form obtained from or approved by the department. The plan shall be specific to the abatement and to each dwelling or child-occupied facility involved.

DHS 163.14(1)(e)8.c.c. When the abatement is not performed by the property owner or the property owner’s agent or employee, a copy of the occupant protection plan shall also be delivered to the property owner or the property owner’s agent or employee. DHS 163.14(1)(e)8.d.d.
