Fact Sheet No. OSHA 93-49 Lead Exposure in Construction HOUSEKEEPING AND PERSONAL HYGIENE PRACTICES Lead is a cumulative and persistent toxic substance that poses a serious health risk. A rigorous housekeeping program and adherence to basic personal hygiene practices will minimize employee exposure to lead. In addition, these two elements of the worker protection program will help to prevent taking lead- contaminated dust out of the worksite and home to the workers' families, thus ensuring that the ... of lead exposure does not extend beyond the workshift and providing added protection to employees and their families. Housekeeping An effective housekeeping program involves at least daily removal of accumulations of lead dust and lead-containing debris. Vacuuming lead dust with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) - filtered equipment or wetting it with water before sweeping are effective control measures. Such cleaning operations should be conducted, whenever possible, at the end of the day, after normal operations cease. Furthermore, all persons doing the cleanup should be provided with suitable respiratory protection and personal protective clothing to prevent contact with lead. In addition, all lead-containing debris and contaminated items accumulated for disposal should be collected and put into sealed impermeable bags or other closed impermeable containers. Bags and containers should be appropriately labeled as lead-containing waste. These measures are ...

Unfortunately, there is a tendency to ignore towers simply because they require less attention than the more technically intensive facilities involved with radio and television broadcasting. There is also what can be called the We're-insured-so-why-worry' attitude. Even if something goes wrong, the safety net is the insurance policy. Controlling loss is at a critical point. Tower construction costs are escalating, and so are the insurance claims. The prudent business approach is to eliminate wherever possible the opportunity for damage to occur. A tower that is out of service sets into motion a chain of events resulting in loss of income, audience share, and advertisers, notwithstanding the disruption of the station operation. There are 12 common causes of broadcast tower loss. A review of ... the rods are in place and in good condition since severe lightning hits may vaporize them. Guy wire anchor points should be grounded to the nearest radial by copper strap. For grounded towers, at least four 10-foot rods must be bonded to the tower base and in contact with the groundwater table. Soil must be tested to determine conductivity. For insulated towers, the ball gap should be clear of debris so that the bare metal is exposed. Insulated towers should have a static drain choke connected between the feedline and the station ground. Insulated towers should have two 12-foot loops in the feedline between the tower and the transmitter housing. Cadwelding the connections is recommended. All tower attachments should be grounded to the tower, and these connections should be inspected annually, since poor connections can cause severe harm ...
