Hazardous Asbestos and Lead Optimal (HALO) Management System Demonstration of Lead Hazard Management Plan Generation

摘要

Now that the dangers of lead and asbestos in the environment are recognized, the Army finds itself with many structures containing lead and asbestos coatings or materials. U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development rules require identification of lead hazards in paint, dust, and soil. When lead hazards are found, action must be taken to manage or remove them. Tracking the details of an effective lead and asbestos hazard management program can present a formidable task, even for a relatively small number of buildings. A computer database program is ideally suited to this task. Using the HALO Management System, managers collect lead- based paint data from risk assessments or paint surveys and generate the required Lead Hazard Management Plan and the Title X lead disclosure form for residential housing. The program reduces time and the amount of paperwork required for compliance with all the rules and to allow the user to produce the Army-required management plans for each installation.
