Los Voluntarios Abren les Puertas: las Cinco Claves para el
Manejo Seguro del Plomo Millions of houses and apartments built
before 1978 have paint that contains lead. Chips, dust, and
fumes from this paint can be very dangerous if they are not
handled properly. Lead is particularly hazardous to unborn
babies, infants, and young children. Volunteers in painting and
housing-rehabilitation programs often work in homes that contain
lead paint. The work they perform can create a lead hazard if
they disturb this paint and produce paint chips or dust.
Volunteers Opening Doors is a video program for these
volunteers. It explains how volunteers can protect housing
residents,themselves, and their families from lead poisoning by
using the five keys to lead safety: 1. Protect residents and
their belongings. 2. Prepare the work area. 3. Protect yourself
from dust and debris. 4. Work wet. 5. Work clean. "Los
