GR 3.16 SPECIAL PROCEDURES FOR LEAD-BASED PAINT
ABATEMENT
Effective June 3, 1993 the U. S. Department of Labor’s interim final rule amends the
Federal OSHA standards for occupational health and environmental controls in subpart
D of 29 CFR part 1926, adding a new §1926.62 indicating protection requirements for
construction workers exposed to lead. The entire rule is contained in the Federal
Register Vol. 58, No. 84, May 4, 1993. The Virginia OSHA (VOSHA) regulations have
subsequently adopted the federal regulations in total.
The Virginia Department of Labor and Industry (DLI) established an emergency
regulation in the May 27, 1996 Virginia Register requiring, among other things, that a
permit be issued by DLI to the lead abatement contractor. This requirement is also
stated in the General Conditions of the Construction Contract. When planning a
renovation, demolition or addition project, the OEHS shall have the facility to be
renovated, surveyed for lead-based paint (LBP) contamination and document all
quantities and locations found.
When lead-based paint is suspected or pre-determined, an estimated cost for
abatement shall be included in the cost estimate supporting the construction budget or
budget request.
The construction documents for renovation or addition projects shall indicate all
locations where lead-based paint is to be disturbed or to remain and shall also have a
lead-based paint disclosure statement indicating one of the following:
1) A lead-based paint inspection was performed and no lead-based paint was
found.
2) A lead-based paint inspection was performed and lead-based paint was found in
indicated areas. However, the work in this project is not intended to disturb
existing lead-based paint.
3) A lead-based paint inspection was performed and lead-based paint was found in
the areas indicated. The lead-based paint shall be removed prior to any other
work being performed in these areas.
4) A lead-based paint inspection was performed and lead based paint was found in
the areas indicated. Lead-based paint shall not be disturbed in this work except
where specifically indicated and required for connections to utilities. Where
