This appendix provides information regarding the
minimum personal protection equipment (PPE) and
associated control measures to be utilized during work activities. The information
includes how to determine and obtain the appropriate protective measures.
This document addresses minimum PPE required for the safe handling of lead. Be aware that other items may be required to address associated work activities (e.g. heavy lifting, fire prevention).
The process steps for this procedure are performed in coordination with ES&H Manual Chapter 6680 Lead Handling Program and ES&H Manual Chapter 6620 Personal Protective Equipment Program
