We realize the importance being a relationship based group. GC's understand that time is money and most (I do mean most) are open to a viable option that will save everyone money. We have not yet worked for a GC who could not or would not listen to reason, OSHA REGS and the dollar value that most certainly rolls down hill.
You catch more bee's with honey Butchieo, than B.S. or the "billy bad ***" attitude. If you approach a GC negatively, you most certainly will always get the same result. Ever hear of contract negotiation?
You've had a lot of time to think about it and I hope you read the New York Times' article about Phil. I just wanted to know when you had all the time to think... This is the best post you can come up with?
I've read your news article that someone brought to my attention. It's people like you who give our business a bad name.
I know who you are ABCON = Already Been CONvicted.
Good luck with your bracelet you have to wear for a year as that was also in the article.
Must be a new fashion statement for those who call themselves professionals.:noway:
We also feel that lead paint does not have to be removed prior to torching operations. Implement the use of proper personal protective equipment (PPE), employee training and engineering controls as a methodology to protect employees above what may be required as referenced by demobud.
A pre-employment blood lead testing program should be designed and be part of the Hazard Communication / Safety Program. Once the testing is obtained and evaluated it can be used to establish your baseline PPE requirements and/or engineering controls within your group
I would check to see if NJ has a lead abatment certification requirement. If the CM wants it then I would try to make him happy but within reason.
I don't generally remove the paint prior to cutting but we do suit up and make sure that where we are cutting is well ventilated.
Check with some of your local acm abatement guys, they might be able to steer you to the right info.
I have a steel structure that I plan on dropping and cutting up with torches. The structure has lead paint on it. The site engineer wants a certified lead paint contractor to handle the paint before we cut.In the past we would scrape the paint off the areas prior to cutting bag up the paint chips and dispose of them. This is a private project and is located in nj.Do i have to hire a lead paint outfit or can i do this myself.
