This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safe handling, application, and disposal of poultice-type paint removers, emphasizing safety when dealing with hazardous chemicals and lead-based paints. Workers must follow manufacturer instructions, refer to Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and perform risk assessments before use. Specific precautions apply to lead-based paint removal, including testing paint samples, ensuring good ventilation, and restricting unauthorized access to work areas.

Operational steps include wearing PPE such as PVC gloves, long sleeves, and eye protection during application, scraping, and cleaning processes. Environmental controls are necessary to prevent contamination of drains and waterways, with all waste collected in sealable containers for appropriate disposal. Warning signs and barriers must be used to mark restricted areas. Adherence to these guidelines ensures safety, compliance, and environmental protection during paint removal tasks.
