โก๏ธ In the construction sector, this is particularly relevant for dust-generating activities such as grinding, sanding, demolition, removal of lead sheets, as well as soldering with lead.
โก๏ธ Since there is no safe exposure threshold for lead, exposure must be kept as low as possible. A clear signal to the market: ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ตโ๐ด ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ต๐ฉ๐ช๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข๐ฅ.
โก๏ธThe occupational hygiene strategy is legally embedded as a hierarchy of controls, requiring risks to be addressed at the source with demonstrable consideration of safer alternatives.
โ๏ธ Leadax lead alternatives are developed with sustainability, circularity, and safety at their core, closely aligning with the shift toward circular construction and stricter occupational safety standards.
๐ As a result, they are increasingly seen as a future-proof, strategic solution for forward-thinking and sustainable building projects.
