Lead, often present in older residential or commercial paints and rust-resistant paints on bridges, structural steel, etc., can present a health problem during or after renovation. The presence of lead and silica in mortar has also been shown to pose a hazard to masons in removing the mortar in preparation in painting.
Pinchin surveys for lead in paint using X-ray fluorescent analysers, giving on-site results.
Pinchin also provides training in lead paint hazard and control, available either as 3-hour awareness sessions, or comprehensive 3-day abatement training sessions. Pinchin also prepares specifications and health and safety plans for lead abatement projects and determines handling and disposal requirements.
