Lead Clean up at the Gun Range

Dust cleaning

Our crews were called in to this particular gun club for an extensive duct cleaning and removing the lead dust from the gun range. This is typically done often as the dust accumulates very quickly and can pose serious health issues to those that utilize the ranges. For more information on this please visit http://www.mass.gov/lwd/labor-standards/deleading-and-lead-safety/occupational-lead-poisoning-registry/shooting-range-bulletin.pdf

According to this article every year several shooters, instructors and maintenance staff become sick from lead poisoning they receive while on the range.

Our technicians are required to be trained in lead safe practices and wear PPE at all times to protect themselves from the dangers during clean up. 

Always remember to contact SERVPRO of Stoughton/Sharon to help with any and all your cleaning needs!
