Primary Hazard: Lead Dust and Deterioration
The main risk is not the intact paint itself, but rather when the paint deteriorates or is disturbed. This creates hazardous lead dust and paint chips, which can be easily ingested or inhaled.
- Deteriorated Paint: Peeling, chipping, chalking, cracking, or damaged paint surfaces are direct hazards.
- Friction Surfaces: Areas subject to wear and tear, like windows, window sills, doors, and stair railings, can generate fine, invisible lead dust as painted surfaces rub together.
- Renovation and Repair: Activities like sanding, cutting, or demolition can create high levels of lead-contaminated dust and chips, leading to acute exposure if not managed using "lead-safe work practices."
