Lead-based Paint

The Lead-based Paint Safe Work Method Statement (SWMS) outlines the main hazards and risks associated with the removal of lead-based paint that may be encountered during work in older residences, buildings and structures (including metal structures), and the main hazards and risks associated with the use of lead-based paints on structures. The SWMS provides details of the inspections and testing to be carried out to determine if lead-based paint is present, the training required and health and safety precautions to be followed by persons involved in the removal of lead-based paint from surfaces, and the health and safety precautions to be observed when using lead-based paint.
