What minimum size of poly must be used for interior abatement projects?

The minimum size of poly that must be used for interior abatement projects is 6 feet. This specification is crucial for ensuring proper containment and protection during lead abatement work. Using poly sheeting of at least this size helps maintain a safe work environment by preventing the spread of lead dust and debris, thus minimizing the risk of exposure to workers and occupants.

When a poly sheet of this size is used, it facilitates adequate coverage of the areas being worked on, allowing for effective containment of lead particles. It also provides enough overlap and anchoring points to secure the material properly, which is essential for an effective containment strategy in lead abatement. Inadequate size of poly could lead to gaps in coverage and increased risk of lead contamination in surrounding areas. By adhering to the minimum size requirement, lead abatement projects can be carried out more safely and efficiently.
