Workers in a number of industries work with lead based paint on a regular basis.  Contractors who work on old houses especially for renovations or remodelling must remove lead paint.  Workers run into lead paint on fuel tankers, bridges, shipyards, industrial facilities, and storage silos.  With any industrial lead paint removal, OSHA and EPA regulations must be observed.

  The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has set a high priority on reducing lead exposure among American workers.  The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has also identified exposure to lead as a serious environmental hazard.  Basically, if you work with lead paint you must follow precautions to avoid inhalation of lead dust and avoid spreading the lead dust to other locations.  Employers must provide personal protective equipment and make a reasonable effort given the situation to protect their workers.

  One product that will increase compliance with OSHA and EPA standards in all industries working with lead paint is IFS LEAD-OUT® Paint Stripper.  This non-toxic paint stripper is industrial strength, because it will remove multiple coats of paint and cover up to 120 square feet of surface area per gallon.  It will also render lead and other heavy metals non-hazardous making the work much safer.  Not only will the work be safer and easier, but the lead paint residue will be non-hazardous waste.  Normally, lead paint waste must disposed of in a hazardous waste site, which can cost significantly more than non-hazardous waste sites.  Hence, LEAD-OUT® will help bring your project into compliance with OSHA and EPA regulations as well as save money on containment, transportation, and disposal, because you will remove the handling of hazardous waste from your industrial lead paint removal project.
