17、 hazards.4. Summary of Guide4.1 This guide discusses the conduct of a lead hazardassessment, in a stepwise progression, using a systematicapplication of the three general tasks listed below. Simulta-neous conduct of several activities within these tasks generallyis performed.4.1.1 Task 1Pre-site vis
18、it activities: Preparing for theon-site visit.4.1.2 Task 2On-site activities: Conducting field work.4.1.3 Task 3Post-site visit activities: Analyzing informa-tion and reporting.NOTE 1The procedures described in this guide are based on thehazard identification portion of a risk assessment of dwelling
19、s and otherfacilities frequented by children as described in 40CFR745 and HUDTechnical Guidelines for the Evaluation and Control of Lead-Based PaintHazards in Housing.5. Significance and Use5.1 This guide is intended to help prevent lead poisoning ofchildren by providing standardized procedures for
20、conductinga lead hazard assessment and providing information needed todevelop and recommend lead hazard control options as de-scribed in E 2252.5.2 This guide is applicable for use in either occupied orunoccupied dwellings and in other child-occupied facilities.5.3 The procedures in this guide, when
21、 supplemented byrecommendations for controlling lead hazards, provide for theconduct of a lead risk assessment of a dwelling or of otherchild-occupied facilities.5.4 This guide may be used to supplement assessmentprocedures used to determine the causes of elevated blood lead(EBL) levels in young chi
22、ldren.NOTE 2In cases of EBL levels, investigation of the total livingenvironment of the child and a pediatric medical evaluation may also beneeded. Reference should be made to documents such as ManagingElevated Blood Lead Levels Among Young Children,5Preventing LeadPoisoning in Young Children (1991)
23、,6HUD Technical Guidelines for theEvaluation and Control of Lead-Based Paint Hazards in Housing,4andScreening Young Children for Lead Poisoning.(1997)65.5 Although this guide was developed for dwellings andfor other child-occupied facilities, this guide may be suitablefor lead hazard assessments in
24、non-residential buildings andother properties following agreement between assessor andclient on appropriate lead action levels.5.6 This guide is not intended for use in identifying buildingmaterials that when abraded or otherwise degraded, such asthat which may occur in remodeling or renovation acti
25、vities,may result in lead hazards.5.7 Lead hazard assessment reports describe lead hazardsidentified at the time the assessment was performed. Thelocations, types or severities of lead hazards can change overtime as a result of property improvement or deterioration,significant changes in property us
26、e, or other factors.NOTE 3The term “lead-free” should never be used to describe theabsence of lead hazards because testing methodologies are not designed tomeasure the total absence of lead. Small amounts of lead present inbuilding materials and components or soil may result in a hazard withchanges
27、in building conditions or as a result of activities that create dustthat contains lead.5.8 This guide is applicable for assisting professionals,homeowners, owners or occupants of rental property, lenders,insurers and others with a property interest in determining thepresence of lead hazards.5.9 This
28、 guide also is applicable for assisting designers oflead hazard mitigation projects to target resources toward leadhazard controls that are deemed most likely to result in theprevention of lead poisoning in young children.6. Requirements for a Risk Assessor6.1 The reliability of a lead hazard assess
29、ment depends onthe training, experience and knowledge of the lead riskassessor. Lead hazard assessments shall be carried out by riskassessors qualified as required through certification or licensingby applicable regulations promulgated by authorities havingjurisdiction.7. Conducting a Lead Hazard As
30、sessment7.1 Lead hazard assessments are conducted using a system-atic approach consisting of a series of activities within threegeneral tasks. Although several of the activities within a taskmay be conducted simultaneously in this standard, they arediscussed in a stepwise progression.Task 1Pre-site

36、 reporting limit ( RL).10.2.2 Eliminate as a potential hazard each sample having alead content or lead concentration below the method reportinglimit ( MRL) or reporting limit ( RL) except for thosesamples having such a small size that the appropriate actionlevel is less than the MRL or RL.10.3 Catal
37、og Lead Hazards:NOTE 7The purpose of this step is to provide information for makingrecommendations as to the order in which hazard mitigations should becarried out to minimize risks of lead poisoning when available finances arelimited. The lead level and physical dimensions of the hazard and thelike
38、lihood of individuals coming into contact with the hazard areconsidered.10.3.1 Prepare a new form to be entitled the Potential LeadHazard Risk Rating Form. List on this form all potential leadhazards identified in 10.2 (that is, do not include thoseeliminated in 10.2.2).10.3.2 For each potential haz
39、ard listed on the Potential LeadHazard Risk Rating Form, record:10.3.2.1 The action level in regulations promulgated byauthorities having jurisdiction or as agreed upon in 8.1.3 (forexample, either the play area or rest-of-yard action level couldbe used in absence of a dripline area level in regulat
40、ionspromulgated by authorities having jurisdiction).NOTE 8In the United States, many jurisdictions follow the standardsfor lead hazards established by the U.S. EPA. Under these standards, adust-lead hazard in a residential unit is determined by comparing thearithmetic mean of the collected dust samp
41、les to the applicable standardwith appropriate weighting of the mean if composite dust wipe samplesare collected. Soil-lead hazards in play areas and in the rest of the yard aredetermined by comparison of a composite soil sample or arithmetic meanof composite soils samples to the applicable standard
42、 for play areas or therest of the yard.10.3.2.2 The determined lead content or lead concentration.10.3.2.3 All the descriptive information from either thepaint/dust/debris or ground data form, including for paint apotential cause of deterioration. (Descriptive information in-cludes, sample code(s),
43、the testing location, and observedcondition.)10.3.2.4 The surfaces represented by the sample.NOTE 9For painted surfaces, all surfaces assumed to have the samepainting history as the surface tested are represented by the paint sample.For dust-testing, a set of floor samples collected in a residence m
44、ayrepresent all the floors in that residence, and similarly for other surfacestested. However, the floor dust sample or samples taken in a room, portionof a room, or room equivalent may represent only the floor in that room,portion of room or room equivalent, and similarly for other surfacestested.
45、For soil testing, the soil samples taken in the play area may be saidto represent all the play area soil, and similarly, for other parts of the yardand other areas tested.E211506610.3.2.5 Appropriate use or use pattern notes determinedduring 9.4.10.3.2.6 Include additional spaces on the form to reco
