Safe Work Practices for Lead Exposure

Safe work practices for lead exposure involve minimizing contact and preventing inhalation or ingestion of lead particles. Employees should wear appropriate personal protective equipment like gloves and masks, work in well-ventilated areas, and avoid eating or smoking in contaminated spaces. Thoroughly washing hands and remove work clothing before leaving the site to prevent spreading lead dust. Regular cleaning of work surfaces and proper disposal of waste also help reduce risks. Training workers about lead hazards and safe procedures is essential to protect health and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
