Multiple Choice

Which practices are part of lead-safe renovation (RRP) procedures?

Lead-safe renovation hinges on preventing the spread of lead dust through proper containment and cleaning, along with correct debris handling. The best choice reflects all these elements: setting up containment to isolate the work area, establishing a controlled work area to limit disturbance of surrounding surfaces, doing the work with minimal disturbance to painted surfaces, cleaning with a HEPA-equipped method to capture fine lead dust, and disposing of debris properly according to regulations. PPE alone isn’t enough, and without containment, cleaning, and proper disposal, lead dust can spread to occupants and other areas. The other options fall short because they omit one or more critical components: relying only on PPE, or not containing the area at all and skipping cleaning, leads to unsafe conditions and noncompliance with RRP requirements.
