Be the change you want to see Behavioral based PbB reduction efforts Karsten Kurz, Director Environmental Affairs, Europe
Be the change you want to see • Voluntary use of respirators • Visualisation • PbB/PbA Mapping • HV Vests • Communication
Be the change you want to see Respirators
Be the change you want to see • How often do your hands touch your face? • How often do your hands touch your mouth? • How often do you swallow?
Be the change you want to see • How often do your hands touch your face? • Up to 3-5 times a minute • How often do your hands touch your mouth? • At least 5 times an hour • How often do you swallow? • Around 2.000 times a day
Be the change you want to see „In advertant ingestion can result in an intake of ~ 600 µg1 in 8 h“ 1 Cherrie J., et al. (2006) How Importantant is Inadvertent Ingestion of Hazardous Substances at Work?
Be the change you want to see • Response to that • robust personal hygiene program • clean equipment & surfaces • Respirator
Be the change you want to see • Voluntary use of respirators • requires a communication effort • is not due to airborne exposure • minimises ingestion
Be the change you want to see PbB / PbA Mapping
Be the change you want to see • PbB / PbA maps display PbA and PbB on a layout – that is not a mathematical correlation ! • Visualization & Data Mining • PbB / PbA maps facilitate Communication
Be the change you want to see HV Vests
Be the change you want to see • In Lead exposed environments you have to do it right from the beginning ! • If you are new to the job, you can create a hazard to yourself and to your colleagues ! • New employees have to get familiar with their task, the way to act safe and with the mechanisms to minimize Lead exposure ! • HV Vests facilitate Communication
Be the change you want to see I’m new to the job and I appreciate all support that I can obtain!
Be the change you want to see Communication
Be the change you want to see • Be creative ! • Everything goes ! • It is not rocket science ! • Keep the balls in the air !
Be the change you want to see Thank You
