3 WORKER PROTECTION
3.1 Health and Safety Manual
The contractor is responsible for providing a site -specific Health and Safety Plan for the project.
The Plan must be submitted and approved by the owner and/or the owner's representative prior
to the start of any work. After the Health and Safety Plan is approved, a copy must be kept at
the job site through the duration of project.
3.2 Lead Worker Health and Safety Regulations
The U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA)
regulates worker exposure to lead under regulations promulgated at 29 CFR 1926.62. This
standard applies to all construction work where employees may be exposed to lead, including
renovation and remodeling activities. During the lead decontamination and removal functions
the contractor must follow the requirements outlined in 29 CFR 1926.62. Briefly summarized,
the standard requires the following:
An Action Level of 30 micrograms of lead per cubic meter of air (µg/m3) averaged over
an 8-hour day.
A Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) of 50 µg/m3 for an 8-hour period.
A preliminary exposure assessment (air monitoring) to determine that the airborne lead
concentration has not exceeded the Action Level or the PEL.
Protection of employees during the preliminary exposure assessment.
Engineering and administrative controls or respiratory protection for workers exposed
above the PEL.
A written compliance program to control workers' lead exposure to below the PEL.
Protective clothing for workers exposed above the PEL or when there is a potential for
eye and skin irritation.

4 CLEARANCE WIPE SAMPLES
Following cleaning and decontamination, the owner or owner's representative will perform a
thorough visual inspection and post -decontamination wipe samples from one hundred square
centimeter areas in accordance with HUD wipe sample clearance criteria to ensure that
remaining lead levels are below applicable criteria as described below. Wipe samples will be
done in similar locations to initial sampling following completion of lead removal and
decontamination. Additional samples may also be collected, if deemed necessary.
All samples will be collected using "Ghost Wipes" to wipe measured areas of selected surfaces.
Each wipe sample may represent a composite of multiple randomly selected surfaces in each
area. Each sample will be collected by wiping the 100 square centimeter area with vertical and
horizontal strokes. After wiping, the samples will be submitted for laboratory analysis to
Reservoirs Environmental, Inc. in Denver, Colorado. Wipe samples will be analyzed for total
lead using EPA Method 3050/7420 by atomic absorption (AA) methodologies.
In determining whether an employer has maintained surfaces of hygiene facilities free from
contamination, OSHA adopted a clean-up level of 200 µg/ft2 (OSHA, 1993). This standard is
applicable to the evaluation of the cleanliness of change areas, storage facilities, and
lunchroom/eating areas on construction sites. This level was based on the EPA/HUD standard
in force at the time, and has not been updated by OSHA. The lead concentration on all
surfaces including but not limited to floors, walls, ceilings, fixtures, plenum surfaces and
inside ductwork following decontamination and removal should be below to 200 µg/ft2
level.
Any areas which exceed these criteria will require additional cleaning and wipe testing by the
owner/owner's representative at contractor's expense. HUD protocols will be used for all
additional wipe samples collected. The estimated cost for the owner/owner's representative to
perform additional wipe sampling, reporting and site visits, which will be borne by the
contractor, will be $375 per visit plus $45 per wipe sample collected.

air machines equipped with High Efficiency Particulate Air (HEPA) filters to prevent
the spread of lead dust.
Wet materials to be removed to minimize dust generation during removal activities.
• Vacuum all surfaces using HEPA equipped vacuums, starting on the ceiling, working
down and ending with the floors.
• Wet wash all surfaces with a lead specific cleaning agent (mixed according to the
manufactures instructions) and rinse with clean water. Wash no more than 1,000 square
feet of surfaces per five (5) gallons of mixture.
After drying, HEPA vacuum all surfaces a final time.
2.4 Special Considerations
• The contractor is required to submit a Health and Safety Plan to City of Fort Collins as
described in Section 3.
• 115/220 Volt electricity is available in the building. The contractor is responsible for
providing any rework wiring required. Any rework wiring required must be done by a
qualified and licensed electrician.
• Water and sewer service is available in the building. All waste water will be collected,
filtered, and disposed of in accordance with local wastewater facility requirements.
• Cleaning methods should be chosen to minimize the generation of dust (e.g. critical
barriers, wet methods and/or High Efficiency Particulate Air [HEPA] vacuum).
Contractors shall take steps to prevent the transport of dust and/or contamination to
adjacent portions of the firing range. This may include setting up barriers to keep dust
out of those areas.
The contractor shall perform required testing to determine if the waste generated during
the cleaning and decontamination process should be disposed of as non -hazardous
waste, or as hazardous waste. The contractor is responsible for the proper disposal of
these materials, including all associated waste testing and disposal costs.
