In response to the health risks of lead pipe removal and replacement, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has released a new set of guidelines to protect workers.
According to a release dated Nov. 3, the new resource, “Workplace Solutions: Reducing Workers’ Lead Exposure during Water Service Line Removal and Replacement,” offers a blueprint for reducing lead hazards that may occur when workers are replacing lead pipelines carrying supply water. Lead exposure is a significant risk for workers in plumbing, city utilities or construction, who may transfer lead residue home with them when they leave the worksites.
