Use this RMS H13 Lead Work Surveillance Checklist to verify compliance for lead risk work on civil and construction projects. The checklist covers WorkCover notification timelines, risk assessment and SWMS creation and review, and the selection of work methods to minimise exposure, such as avoiding dry sweeping and using vacuum‑shrouded tools. It includes training requirements on handling, ventilation and PPE, refresher training intervals, biological monitoring of blood lead levels, emergency response readiness, and environmental emissions monitoring. It also checks restricted lead process area controls, decontamination and laundering procedures, hygiene protocols, record‑keeping, and compliance close‑out actions including NCRs and CARs.

Lead Workers Toolbox Talk
This toolbox talk guides roofing crews on safe work practices when handling lead. It outlines employer duties for risk assessment and control measures, personal hygiene standards, provision and use of PPE, and requirements for medical surveillance and biological monitoring when exposure is significant. Workers are reminded how lead is absorbed, to keep work areas clean, dispose of lead waste properly, avoid taking contaminated clothing home, and to eat and drink only in clean areas. It also highlights reporting defective equipment, attending medical appointments, and decontamination before leaving site. A note on hot works stresses keeping an extinguisher on hand, complying with permits, and checking for smolder. Ideal for briefing teams on lead hazards and roofing safety responsibilities.
