Industry Program in Paint Manufacturing

Objective of the Program:
The broad objectives are to phase out the manufacture and sale of paints containing lead and eventually to eliminate the risks from such paint. Specific objectives are: (a) To raise the awareness of government authorities and regulators, private industry, manufacturers, consumers, workers, trade unions and health-care providers about the toxicity of lead in paints and the availability of technically superior and safer alternatives; (b) To catalyze the design and implementation of appropriate prevention-based program to reduce and eliminate risks from the use of lead in paint. When processes for phasing-out lead are put in place in installations manufacturing paint, arrangements must be made to ensure a fair transition that protects workers health [and employment]; (c) To provide assistance to paint manufacturers that continue to produce and market paints containing lead to enable them to phase out lead from their paints.
