I happened on a episode off this where they were rebuilding a lighthouse. And in doing so I saw that they were in violation off Federal (and probably state) standards. 

Now the building was erected someplace in the 1,800's on the East coast and I don't have to test the paint. I KNOW! it contains lead as an additive. 

I didn't listen to the whole episode so I don't know if they talked about this issue. But I saw no signage, or containment, or little personal protection. 

And what I did see had NO personal protection.

SHAMEFUL!

As long as you don't eat the paint chips you should be okay.  You aren't eating the paint chips, are you...?

Most lead poisoning ISN'T from ingestion. It is from inhalation of the dust. If a worker does not equip their selves properly and work "SMART" he will breath the lead-dust and become poisoned.

And the building they were working on I bet has 100 times the federal limit of lead per square centimeter.

Yeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa......most of the worrisome paint is on the outside of the buildings and, ohhh, even if it is on the inside, given all that ocean breeze, how much dust do you suppose there is?
And always remember, wrap your rascal before you take it for a dip.

LOT'S !!! A government building such as this, in Vancouver Washington, tested 138 and 142 times the SAFE level. ON THE INSIDE!

Safe abatement of this was a challenge.

Well, we don't the f**k care.  Since you live up there, if somebody offers you a rolled up dollar bill and a line of white powder on a mirror, don't inhale it.  It might be <gasp>  lead dust!

"WINDOWS AND DOORS DON'T LIKE TO ADMIT IT.....but they would be nothing without walls."

ConfusedWhere did you come up with that? Kinda cute, doncha know....but I've seen ceilings and floors with windows and doors and walls without halls nor stalls. Where you are, do the walls have bars made of the same material as old cars? PLEASE, oh please answer! The Inquiring Mindless are so confused and seeing stars...

Thank You..... My "SIG" lines come from one    "Ashley Brilliant." He has written hundreds (perhaps thousands) of such lines............ The one rule he has is that each thought my be conveyed in LESS the 17 words. Some are very good...…….. All are truthful.....

Ooooopppppsssss 

We kind of got off topic here...………. The point I was trying to make was:

Unless this building had been tested by an inspector and found to be less then 0.5% lead paint they could be finned for what and how they were "building off grid"
