Sec. 3.
A lead hazard screen shall be conducted only by a person licensed by the department as a risk assessor. A lead hazard screen shall be conducted as follows:
(1) Background information regarding the physical characteristics of the residential dwelling or child-occupied facility and occupant use patterns that may cause lead-based paint exposure to one (1) or more children, six (6) years of age or younger, shall be collected.(2) A visual inspection of the residential dwelling or child-occupied facility shall be conducted to:(A) determine if any deteriorated paint is present; and(B) locate at least two (2) dust sampling locations.(3) If deteriorated paint is present, the following surfaces which are determined, using documented methodologies, to be in poor condition and to have a distinct painting history, shall be tested for the presence of lead: (A) Each friction surface or impact surface with visibly deteriorated paint.(B) All other surfaces with visibly deteriorated paint.(4) In residential dwellings, two (2) composite dust samples shall be collected and analyzed, one (1) from the floors and one (1) from an interior window sill in all living areas, including, but not limited to, rooms, hallways, or stairwells where any child, six (6) years of age or younger, is likely to come in contact with dust.(5) In multifamily dwellings and child-occupied facilities, the samples required in subdivision (3) shall be taken in:(A) each room, hallway, or stairwell used by any child six (6) years of age and under; and(B) other common area groups in the child-occupied facility where any child six (6) years of age and under is likely to come into contact with dust. In addition, the risk assessor shall also collect and analyze at least two (2) composite or single-surface dust samples from interior window sills and floors where any child, six (6) years of age or younger, is likely to come into contact with dust.
(6) Dust samples shall be collected and analyzed in the following manner:(A) All dust samples shall be taken using documented methodologies that incorporate adequate quality control procedures.(B) All collected dust samples shall be analyzed to determine if they contain detectable levels of lead that can be quantified numerically.(7) Paint shall be sampled in either, or both, of the following manners:(A) The analysis of paint to determine the presence of lead shall be conducted using documented methodologies that incorporate adequate quality control procedures.(B) All collected paint chip samples shall be analyzed to determine if they contain detectable levels of lead that can be quantified numerically.(8) The risk assessor shall prepare a lead hazard screen report, which shall include the following information: (A) The date of the assessment.(B) The address of the building.(C) The date of construction.(D) The apartment number, if applicable.(E) The name, address, and telephone number of each owner or owners of each residential dwelling or child-occupied facility.(F) The name, signature, and license number of each licensed risk assessor conducting the assessment.(G) The name, address, and telephone number of the firm employing each licensed risk assessor.(H) The name, address, and telephone number of each recognized laboratory conducting the analysis of the collected samples.(I) Each testing method and device or sampling procedure employed for paint analysis, including quality control data and, if used, the serial number of any x-ray fluorescence device.(J) Specific locations of each painted component tested for the presence of lead-based paint.(K) The results of the assessment, including, but not limited to, visual inspections in terms appropriate to the sampling method used.(L) All results of laboratory analysis on collected paint, soil, and dust samples.(M) Any background information collected.(N) To the extent that they are used as part of the lead-based paint hazard determination, the results of any previous inspections or analyses for the presence of lead-based paint or other assessments of lead-based paint-related hazards.(O) A description of the location, type, and severity of lead-based paint hazards and other potential lead hazards.(P) A description of interim controls and abatement options for each identified lead-based paint hazard and a suggested prioritization for addressing each hazard. If the use of an encapsulant or enclosure is recommended, the report shall recommend a maintenance and monitoring schedule for the encapsulant or enclosure.(9) The risk assessor shall submit documentation of the lead hazard screen in the format prescribed by the department within five (5) business days after completing the report.(10) The risk assessor shall submit to the department, on a quarterly basis, the number of lead hazard screen reports prepared during that quarter by the fifteenth day of the following month.
