Lead Work Logs

Who needs to keep "lead work logs"?

All WAP agencies should be keeping lead work logs.  There is some confusion on this issue.  Many agencies think that the logs were just part of the process when crews were doing the air monitoring.  This is not the case.  Here are the two instances when these logs should be done.

  1. When you are doing air-monitoring, logs must be done as part of the process to document the circumstances of the process being monitored.  Agencies doing air monitoring understand this process.

  2. But, agencies should also be keeping a lead log anytime the weatherization process disturbs lead paint. 

    WHY?

A log is the legal proof that you followed Lead Safe Weatherization and may be needed in the future if:

  • An employee brings a claim against your agency that they were exposed to high levels of lead on the job

  • A client sues agency for possibly contributing to children in the household becoming lead-poisoned. 

Logs should contain the following information at minimum:

  • Agency Name

  • Crews names and SS numbers

  • Job site number and address

  • Date work performed

  • Job tasks performed (e.g. removing siding)

  • Techniques used (e.g. list the LSW work practices step by step)

NYSWDA has developed Lead Log Forms  for the network to use.  They are available in MS Word or PDF format.  Click Here to go to  Next Page for details
