| Pre-use equipment checks | Extraction or RPE failure | H-class airflow / filter / bag check; RPE fit / seal check; SDS / TDS on site |
| Wet / manual preparation | Inhalation and ingestion of lead dust | Mist surfaces; wet scrape and wet sand; H-class vacuum as you go |
| Chemical stripping (where selected) | Chemical burns, vapour, contaminated residues | Per SDS / TDS; ventilation; gloves and eye protection; organic vapour controls where required; bag residues |
| Mechanical preparation (Class C only) | High dust generation | Shrouded on-tool extraction connected to H-class extractor; P3 RPE where assessed; stop if extraction fails |
| Work at height interface | Falls; dropped debris through containment | Follow access JSEA; catch sheets under work; tool tethering |
| Clean-up and waste | Residual dust, contaminated runoff | H-class vacuum then wet wipe; fold and bag sheeting; capture wash-water; label waste; lawful waste route |
