When should the occupant protection plan be delivered?

The occupant protection plan must be delivered at least 7 days before the start of abatement to ensure that occupants have adequate time to understand the potential risks associated with lead exposure during the abatement process, familiarize themselves with the protection measures outlined in the plan, and arrange for their safety or relocation if necessary. Providing this notice well in advance also allows occupants to prepare and make informed decisions regarding their living situation, which is crucial in minimizing lead exposure and ensuring their safety.

This timeframe is designed to comply with regulatory requirements and best practices in lead risk assessment and abatement procedures, ensuring that all parties involved are fully informed and can take the necessary precautions.
