It includes methods for determining whether hazardous metallic pigments are present on a structure and the selection of a maintenance strategy. Guidance is given on implementing emission controls during paint removal to ensure that potential health risks to workers and the public are reduced to an acceptable level, environmental pollution regulations are observed and a method of handling hazardous waste is selected which meets governing legislation.For legal obligations associated with managing lead-based and other hazardous paints, refer to work health and safety (WHS) regulatory requirements.
