Paint on older buildings, steel bridges, towers, and storage tanks—even some built as late as the early 1990s—may contain lead or other heavy metals. Lead and other heavy metals can cause serious problems for human health and the environment. Any project that disturbs lead-based paint requires planning to ensure that the project complies with environmental and safety regulations. This tech tip provides information for planning projects that involve lead-based paint.

Keywords: bridges, facilities, hazardous materials, safety at work, towers
