Guides for Managing Lead and Silica Now Available

The Mount Sinai-Hunter College Blueprint Project has published two free guides for managing lead and silica control programs in the construction industry. Designed for use by construction managers, site safety officers, and other health and safety professionals, each guide provides a step-by-step approach to planning, implementing, and evaluating control programs in a construction environment. Exposure assessment, engineering and work practice controls, blood lead monitoring, respirator protection, supervisor safety meetings, and worker toolbox talks are among the topics covered.

Each guide also contains relevant forms, checklists, and information sheets that can be readily copied or adapted to different worksites. The guides were developed in partnership with construction contractors, building trades unions, and governmental agencies. The Blueprint project was initiated in 1999 through a grant from the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).

The guides can be downloaded for free from
http://www.mssm.edu/cpm/blueprintproject/. A limited number are available on CD or in book form by calling 212/241-7573.
