Note: All building code and fire code requirements for access to a residential dwelling unit or child-occupied facility must be maintained.
Note: A lead hazard warning sign is posted by the Department of Health and Human Services whenever a lead hazard is identified by a state lead investigator. The lead hazard warning sign does not replace the notification required by this Section. This warning sign is posted at all entrances to the residential dwelling unit, or child-occupied facility before the state investigator leaves the premises. The lead hazard warning sign states that a lead hazard has been identified and that a lead abatement activity will be ordered. This warning sign must not be removed until the post-abatement dust wipe clearance samples do not exceed the clearance levels as specified in Section 6(L) and the visual assessment evidences that all lead hazards have been abated successfully. The lead hazard warning sign may only be removed when the property owner receives notification from the Department of Health and Human Services stating that the sign may be removed.
Note: Building codes generally require that there be two egresses available to occupants.
Note: On masonry components, sealing may be required after chemical stripping due to surface porosity.
Note: A project-specific contract may also require the pre-cleaning of cabinet interiors.
Note: Contract specifications may require a Paint Removal Verification Inspection (commonly referred to as "Paint Scrape Inspection") by a certified lead inspector or certified risk assessor prior to sealing treated surfaces.
Note: A "baby wipe" may be used in the visual assessment process to determine if a surface is free of debris.
Note: Owners and operators may address the cost of any repeat clearance examination work as part of contractual agreements.

If the test results are equal to or exceed these standards, the lead abatement contractor shall perform the following actions, as appropriate: If a single-surface dust sample for a residential dwelling unit or child-occupied facility fails, all components that the sample represents shall be re-cleaned in accordance with final cleanup requirements of Sections 6(E)(8), 6(F)(7), 6(G)(10), 6(H)(9), or 6(I)(12) as applicable, until they pass a clearance sampling. If single surface samples in only one room or on one type of component fail, only that room or component shall be re-cleaned and be retested until it passes a clearance sampling.
Note: The Department intends to respond to non-standard work practice requests within 5 working days of receipt and will indicate whether the proposal is authorized or not, and if not, why not.
Note: When given a variance, the abatement contractor must comply with all other applicable provisions of this rule and other applicable state and federal laws and rules.
