I have written to WorkCover with the following suggestions in relation to documents about methodology used for clean-up of ceiling dust: On page 11, "Assessment of Lead Exposure Associated with Ceiling Dust Removal" currently states: There are a number of guidance notes already in place, for example:
I would suggest the following changes and phone numbers and weblinks to make the information more accessible: There are a number of guidance notes already in place, for example:

I hope this helps. |
