TASK 2. CONDUCT RISK ASSESSMENT
2.2.1
Risk Assessment
2.2.1.1
Visual Assessment
The risk assessor shall conduct a visual assessment of all selected units to locate potential LBP hazards
and to evaluate the magnitude of each hazard. If previous paint inspections have been conducted, the
assessor shall focus on the painted surfaces that are known to contain lead-based paint and the dust
reservoirs around them. Paint on surfaces older than 1 January 1978 shall be assumed to be LBP
where testing has not determined otherwise. The risk assessor shall visually inspect the unit exterior and
every room of each unit that will be assessed to evaluate paint and building conditions using the floor
plans/sketches. Every lead-based paint component system with the same distinct painting history (see
Glossary) shall be evaluated separately. All potential paint-lead hazards shall be visually identified
based on condition as follows:
The risk assessor shall identify:
Any friction surface or impact surface with visibly deteriorated paint, and surface that can
potentially exceed the dust-lead hazard action levels in Table A-1
Any chewable surface with evidence of teeth marks.
Any other deteriorated lead-based paint identified on any component system.
Visible dust
Bare soil
In addition the risk assessor shall visually assess painted surfaces in common areas accessible to
children. The risk assessor shall inspect deterioration on friction and impact surfaces by operating and
examining the friction and/or impact surfaces of several of the windows and doors that are used most
frequently (if known). The visual assessment of each unit shall be documented using Form 1 and Form
2 (see Figure B-1 and Figure B-2, Appendix B). The forms shall be submitted as attachments to the
Risk Assessment Report.
2.2.1.2
Sample Location Selection
******************************************************************************
NOTE: Multi-unit common areas must be sampled when performing multi-unit
assessment sampling. Sampling criteria for community buildings, day care, or
other spaces frequented by children require coordination with customer prior to
beginning the project
