What is the overall objective of a containment system during lead remediation?

The overall objective of a containment system during lead remediation is to prevent dust contamination. When dealing with lead, especially in environments where remediation is required, it is crucial to minimize the spread of lead dust and particles that can pose significant health risks to workers and the surrounding environment. A well-designed containment system ensures that any lead particles generated during the work process remain within a controlled area, thereby reducing the risk of exposure to both workers and the public.

This objective aligns with safety regulations and best practices in lead remediation, which emphasize the importance of maintaining a clean and safe work site. By preventing dust contamination, the system not only protects the health of workers but also safeguards the environment and the general population from lead exposure.
