Toxic chemicals in the workplace don’t just affect workers and fenceline communities – they can also affect workers’ families. In honor of the 25th Annual National Lead Poisoning Prevention Week, we wanted to share some resources for lead poisoning prevention. When workers handle lead and return home, their children can become exposed to lead dust on their clothes and shoes – and there is no safe level of lead exposure. Tips for reducing lead exposure: ·??????If you handle lead at work, you can reduce the lead you bring home on your body and clothing by cleaning up, changing your clothes, and removing your shoes before coming home. ·??????If you use tools that come into contact with lead, store them outside of the home. ·??????Consider toxics use reduction to reduce or eliminate the use of lead in the workplace. If your facility uses lead and would like to learn about opportunities to reduce its use, please reach out to OTA’s team: https://lnkd.in/e5_Qtg43 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has fact sheets on preventing lead poisoning in children, including advice for people who handle lead at work (English: https://lnkd.in/etXSPngC en Espa?ol: https://lnkd.in/eu2mE_wZ) USEPA recently finalized new rules to protect children from lead exposure: https://lnkd.in/gUm83fk Check out additional lead poisoning prevention resources from EPA https://lnkd.in/gwBea6Y and CDC https://lnkd.in/gPytai5x. #Manufacturing #LeadPoisoning #Lead #NLPPW #EnvironmentalEngineering #EnvironmentalHealth #PollutionPrevention
