• Description:
  This manual was originally developed by the California Occupational Health Program (COHP) as part of a model project. The project's goal was to prevent lead poisoning in Southern California radiator shops. The project also included seminars, a video, worker training classes, and other technical assistance. This revised national version of the manual provides important information on how to prevent lead poisoning in radiator shops without the supporting material provided to radiator shops in Southern California by COHP. This manual was designed to be easy to use. The most important and easy-to-accomplish steps are first. Start at the beginning and work through it one step at a time. This manual is organized to make it easy for you to use. It is broken down into ten chapters (j which address different areas related to the prevention of lead poisoning. When there are several ways of reaching a single goal, we describe the pros and cons of each. Then we let you choose, and direct you to step-by-step lists of what-to-do and how-to-do-it for each option. The Appendices contain "Progress Reports" to help you keep track of your efforts. Fill them out and keep one for your records. These provide your company a way to record your achievements. If OSHA knocks on your door, the Progress Reports could help prove that you have taken steps to comply with existing regulations. They can also demonstrate. the good faith you have shown in protecting your workers. Many public and nonprofit agencies can help you create a safe and healthy workplace. These are listed in the Getting Help section. If you want more information about the subjects in this manual, check the Q&A section. Check the Glossary if you find words you don't know.
