Corporate Deleading Compliance Program

KTA can prepare a Corporate Deleading Compliance Program, under the direction of a Certified Industrial Hygienist, addressing the protection of workers, management of releases of lead to air, soils and waters, and management of waste products and debris. The program will establish policies governing each of the following general areas:

Worker Protection

KTA can provide your company with a Corporate Worker Lead Protection Program in compliance with 29 CFR 1926.26, OSHA Construction Industry Lead Standard. This program includes a Medical Surveillance Program and a Respiratory Protection Program for lead exposure projects. The program is easily tailored using fill-in-the-blank forms to be project specific (as required by OSHA) and to include the following information at a minimum:

A description of each activity in which lead is emitted including the equipment and materials involved, controls in place, crew size, employee job responsibilities, operating procedures, and maintenance practices.
A description of the specific means used to control employee exposure to lead. When engineering controls are required, the engineering plans and studies that were used to determine the methods selected must be included. If mechanical ventilation is used to control lead exposure, the employer must evaluate its performance to maintain its effectiveness.
A report of the technology considered in meeting the PEL.
Air monitoring data which documents the source of lead emissions.
Detailing schedule for implementing the program.
A work practice program which includes the protective work clothing and equipment to be used, housekeeping practices, and hygiene facilities and practices as well as other relevant work practices.

An administrative control (job rotation) schedule, if appropriate, including the name and identification number of each affected employee, the duration and exposure levels at each job where the employee is located, and any other information which may be useful in assessing the reliability of the administrative controls for reducing employee exposure to lead.

A description of arrangements made among contractors on multi-contractor sites with respect to informing other affected employees of potential lead exposures, as well as the arrangements made for the respective responsibilities of the prime and/or subcontractor(s) for assuring full project compliance with the lead standard.

Environmental Compliance

Criterion for establishing the need for PM-10 and/or TSP-lead monitoring, duration of monitoring and site sampling location.

Procedures for instrument monitoring of ambient air and for visual assessment of emissions.

Quality assurance criteria for ambient air monitoring program.

Criterion for establishment of site-specific soil sampling protocols, sampling techniques, laboratory selection and analytical methods, and site clearance reporting.

OSHA General Industry Safety & Health Program

Many facility owners of petrochemical refineries are now requiring contractors to maintain and implement a safety and health program that meets the criteria of 29 CFR 1910, General Industry Standard. 29 CFR 1910 focuses on work performed in industrial facilities.

If you wish to work in refineries participating in this new initiative, our current Safety and Health Program (tailored to 29 CFR 1926) MAY NOT PASS THE AUDIT REQUIREMENTS.

What is different about these program requirements? The content of the 29 CFR 1910 program is substantially different, and in most cases, more stringent than that required for construction projects. In this newly emphasized program, facility owners may conduct site audits to ensure compliance in the field. This occurs in addition to the normal program submittals.

KTA’s Environmental, Health & Safety Group will assist you in preparing for this new requirement. KTA’s help includes program development, site-specific requirement modifications, and monitoring services. KTA has completely re-written many of the chapters in its safety and health program to meet the General Industry Standard. This newly offered program also includes three added areas of concern:

Suspended Personnel Platforms on Load Lines of Cranes
Bloodborne Pathogens
Process Safety Management

Don’t be surprised to find these requirements in your next bid package. Get qualified ahead of time. Call us today. Contact Stan Liang at 412.788.1300, extension 219 for more information.

A listing of current technical standards which should form a part of your technical library.

Application forms for membership in various industry organizations.

A model document system for receiving, reviewing, and disseminating job specifications and specification revisions.

Model statements which, when implemented, will enable you to demonstrate knowledge about equipment, equipment maintenance, and coating materials.

Forms to adequately document current and recently completed work on industrial maintenance painting of complex structures.

Contractors must also demonstrate successful implementation of a program to control the quality of painting work. To assist in this effort, KTA will provide templates or forms to demonstrate, document and verify:
