LEAD PAINT SURVEYS

We provide guidance to clients and contractors on the level of risk contained within painted surfaces across their projects.

Our HSE compliant lead paint sampling service uses the latest Niton xl2 100g analyser.

The inherent advantage of XRF-I lead surveys is the ability to distinguish high and low/no risk areas in order to gain cost and programme advantages.

Our sampling and location report provides detailed information on the lead content in and around the working area.

MANAGING THE RISKS EFFECTIVELY

We work with clients to ensure they maintain their employers duty of care, mitigate risks and remain compliant with the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002 (CLAW).

We help clients to effective manage their risk by establishing where there are potential ‘significant’ exposure, as defined in the regulations.

Our sampling and location report helps clients identify where lead may be present either as a fume, generated at temperatures greater than 500°c, or as dust.

This can include identifying where employees may be exposed to a concentration of lead in the atmosphere exceeding half the occupational exposure limit for lead; or where there is a substantial risk of ingesting lead.

EMPLOYERS DUTY

We help clients to maintain their employers’ duty of care by identifying and locating the presence of lead paint on projects.

We provide:

HOW TO ENSURE YOUR COMPLIANCE

For high volume, low cost-per-sample ‘screening’ applications the standard equipment for lead paint survey work is a handheld XRF-I (X-Ray Fluorescence Isotope) instrument.

These devices have emerged as the technology of choice for surveys of the ‘buried’ lead in paint that is so widespread. The best instruments match the accreditation standards required of specialist ‘bricks-and-mortar’ lead laboratories.

Because 100s (sometimes 1000+) of XRF-I readings, in mass/area units (μg /cm2), can be taken during the course of a day there is no more cost-effective way of evaluating the location and extent of lead paint hazards, wherever they may exist. And the ‘interactive’ nature of its use allows a more dynamic and complete approach for risk assessment purposes.

“…WHERE WE DISCOVER THAT EMPLOYERS ARE FAILING IN THIS DUTY (TO PROTECT EMPLOYEES FROM EXPOSURE TO LEAD) WE CAN AND WILL TAKE ACTION.”
