VISUAL ASSESSMENT | |
| Visual
assessments are conducted to locate potential lead-based paint hazards and evaluate
the magnitude of the hazards. |  Assessments
should identify:
- deteriorating painted
surfaces
- areas of visible dust accumulation
- areas
of bare soil
- painted surfaces that
are impact points or subject to friction
- painted
surfaces on which a child may have chewed
Information
from the visual assessment should be used to: - determine
where environmental samples will be collected
- define
in a preliminary way the extent of the lead hazard control efforts needed
- predict
the efficacy of the various hazard control options given current maintenance practices
- determine
housing conditions (such as water leaks) that, if not corrected, could lead to
paint deterioration
