OHIO Lead Risk Assessor Study
Guide/Terms
Lead was used in paint because it - Adds durability and serves as a drying agent.
Lead is sometimes found in drinking water because lead is in - Pipe solder and plumbing
fixtures.
What form of lead is often found in house paint? - WHITE LEAD
How much lead must be present in a painted surface for it to be considered lead-based paint
by HUD? - At least 1 milligram per square centimeter (0.01 kg / m2)
The federal agency responsible for protecting workers who work with lead in construction is -
OSHA
What is OSHA's Permissible Exposure Limit (PEL) for lead? - 50 micrograms per cubic
meter of air (50 µg/m3)
How much lead must be in paint for OSHA to consider it to be lead-based paint? - ANY
Name some common items/objects that Lead is often found in. - Vinyl blinds, ceramic
coating and electrical cable coatings
Most common ways lead enters the body? - Inhaling (breathing) and/or Ingesting (eating)
If lead gets in your body it may damage your - Central and Peripheral Nervous System,
Cardiovascular System, and Kidneys. (Reproductive, too)
The CDC recommends community prevention activities when children blood lead levels are
at least? - 10 ug/dl
A medical procedure used to remove lead from blood is? - Chelation
How do we determine if we exceed OSHA's PEL? - Personal air monitoring
When we take paint chip samples, we? - Decontaminate any lead dust that may be created.
Final clearance testing for a lead abatement project is performed using: - Surface wiping
sampling.
The lead dust clearance levels of the current EPA regulations are? - 40 ug/ft2 for floors, 250
ug/ft for window sills and 400 ug/ft for window troughs.
, EPA certification recognizes the following work discipline: - Inspector, Risk Assessor,
Supervisor, Worker, Contractor
EPA has defined a child-occupied facility to mean: - 2 days a week, average at least 3 hours
a visit, totaling 6 hours a week and 60 hours annually
When testing for lead using an XRF analyzer it is best to: - Have the residents leave during
testing.
When we are charged with negligence our best defense is likely to be that we: - We followed
the best technology available.
We can use insurance coverage to protect us from liability arising from: - Breeches of
contract
In addition to training to become an inspector, anyone using an XRF to test for lead based
paint must: - Receive direct factory training by the manufacturer for the specific XRF being
used.
Under Title X federally owned or assisted houses are to: - Be evaluated for lead-based paint,
lead hazards, and have leave hazards controlled.
Under sections 1012 and 1013 of Title X, there are different standards for houses built prior
to 1960 and those built between 1960 and 1978. But in all such houses we must: - Use safe
work practices where work is performed.
When collecting wipe samples it is advisable to place the sample in: - A polyethylene
centrifuge tube.
We use gloves in wipe tests to: - Protect the sample from lead on the inspector's hands.
Lead dust in a home may be the result of: - Deteriorated paint, remodeling, tracking in of dirt.
HUD is most concerned with lead in soil: - Where children play in bare soil.
What law governs training of lead workers in HUD houses? - EPA Toxic Substance Control
Act.
A lead-based paint inspection is best described as: - A surface-by-surface investigation to
determine the presence of lead-based paint.
Title X of the 1992 Housing and Community Development Act requires that federally owned
or assisted housing be: - Inspected for lead-based paint, assessed for risks posed by lead
present, provided control measures for lead hazards found.
The following is not a method of abatement for lead-based paint: - Coating with latex paint.
