SSPC Publishes New Collection of Guides on
Environmental Protection
Pittsburgh--SSPC: The Society for Protective Coatings
has published a new collection of standards, guides, and other
consensus documents titled Guides
on Environmental Protection. This new 322-page softcover compilation
is meant to provide owners, contractors, specifiers, and others with
information and guidance on the control of emissions during surface
preparation and paint removal operations, the handling and disposal
of lead contaminated wastes, and other environmental, health, and safety
issues.
 The
new Guides
on Environmental Protection features the latest
edition of SSPC-Guide 6,
Guide for Containing Surface Preparation Debris Generated During
Paint Removal Operations, as well as the recently revised
and updated SSPC-Guide 7,
Guide to the Disposal of Lead-Contaminated Surface Preparation
Debris. SSPC-Guide
6 describes methods of paint
removal, containment systems and procedures for minimizing
or preventing emissions from escaping the work area, and procedures
for assessing
the adequacy of the controls over emissions. SSPC-Guide
6 also
includes a discussion of ventilation to assist users in controlling
emissions to
the environment, and in enhancing worker protection and visibility
within the containment. SSPC-Guide
7 provides information regarding handling,
testing, and disposal of solid debris generated during preparation
of surfaces previously painted with lead containing paint.
Other SSPC consensus documents included in this new compilation
are:

The new Guides

features chapters from SSPC's Good
Painting Practice on air
quality, waste handling, and other regulations affecting
the protective coatings industry, as well as a selection
of papers from recent
SSPC conferences that show the important roles
these guides and procedures play in many major painting
programs. These additional references
help to illustrate
the proper implementation of the standards, guides, and practices
contained in this volume, and show them in the practical
context of actual case histories.
The book's appendices contain relevant excerpts from the Code
of Federal Regulations, including:
- 29 CFR 1910.1025 (Lead)
- 29 CFR 1926.62 (Lead), and
- 40 CFR 50.12, Appendix G (Reference

standards library of QP 2
