Attachment A LEAD ACCOUNT SAFETY PROCEDURES • All Service and Sales staff must determine if a potential customer may be considered a Lead Account. Customer must be asked if the merchandise may be contaminated with lead. Ask for SDS's and forward to the Safety Department(c/o Al Perez) and Environmental Department(c/o Tom Dikos)for review prior to accepting the account. • Customer will handle and load all contaminated merchandise into slings and/or water- soluble bags. Customer must sea] all water soluble bags before pick-up. Sling carts must be vacuumed or wet-wiped by customer to remove visible dust prior to pick-up. Typically, used bath towels will be considered non-contaminated. • RSR's and production employees must wear nitrile gloves while handling soiled merchandise, slings, carts and bags. No other PPE is required. Remember, AUS em to ees must not be allowed to directIv handle or sort contaminated merchandise. • When using sling carts,the RSR or customer must cover the exposed garments with the sewn-in flap. This must be done before loading the carts into the truck. Provide a dock plate or lift gate as needed to safely load and unload sling carts on to the truck. Slings with flaps can be ordered from Storms Industries or Ryco. • Potentially contaminated mats must be misted and rolled up(carpet side "in")and inserted directly into a container to minimize dust exposure.
