The SGAA Air Monitoring Program is for Association members only and is designed to give SGAA Members easy access to the equipment needed to comply with OSHA air quality monitoring rules and regulations.

A General Information form is available from http://www.stainedglass.org/html/SGAA_air_monitoring.htm. It is designed to help you understand the program and decide how much testing media and how many pumps you need. After reviewing this, you are then ready to fill out the Request Form with the appropriate information. The next step is to sign the lease agreement, leaving the dates blank. The lease agreement will be signed, dated and returned to you after you have been entered on the borrower?s schedule. The credit card deposit on the pump(s) will be held and only submitted if the equipment is not returned.

Once you have decided on the testing media and equipment, you will need to return your request form and the signed lease to the SGAA headquarters. A video demonstrating the process will accompany your testing kit.

For more information and to download recently-updated forms, please visit http://www.stainedglass.org/html/SGAA_air_monitoring.htm. You are also welcome to contact the SGAA Headquarters at 800.438-9581 with any questions or to discuss the testing program.

I am currently working with an association member who has received a visit from OSHA followed by citations related to employee exposures to lead.

I have visited this studio and found it to be visually very clean, but my sampling has confirmed elevated lead exposure results for some employees when disassembling windows.

Have other members been similarly visited?
Do members have employee exposure data that they can share?

Any assistance in this matter would be most helpful.

Please respond to my e-mail: indhygienist@hotmail.com.
Thanks in advance.

The Stained Glass Association of America publication SGAA Recommendations for Safety in the Stained Glass Studio recommends dismantling (de-leading) panels under water to contain the dust and notes that this has the added advantage of softening the putty. It further recommends a double-cartridge HEPA respirator and eye protection when engaged in this task.

SGAA Recommendations for Safety in the Stained Glass Studio is available from the SGAA Headquarter by calling 800.438-9581.

It should be noted that not ALL stained glass windows can be dismantled under water. Fragile paint and deteriorated glass are just 2 examples.
Also, contaminated wash water needs to be treated as toxic waste.
