Don't you find it strange that the man who is the icon for caramelized corn refers to you as crackerjack? You're right about kindergarten; I got detention even then for telling jokes during recess.

Hi Doug - whomever said we learned everything we needed to know in life in 
kindergarten was correct - including using soap when we wash our hands! 
There are oodles (aka many) things in soaps that lead loves to grab onto 
and make stable compounds. If people follow the prescribed practices for 
correctly  handling solder/lead and use proper  hand washing practices, 
then the need to hand wipes is not necessary.

Subject
[TN] Hand Wipes and Lead Residues






Good morning all,

I just had a chat with one of our ES&H engineers, a very pleasent young 
lady, on the topic of hand wipes and lead residues.  Was I aware of any 
industry studies on the efficiency of hand wipes marketed at removing lead 

residues, presumably from contact with cored wire solder?  I was not aware 

of any.  I am always instantly suspicious of ANYTHING that marketers 
touch.  I am of the opinion that good old fashioned hand washing with soap 

and water is as effective as anything, but there are areas here where we 
are pretty sure our operators go straight from the bench to lunch without 
that step. 

So, I turn to my favorite source of information.

1.  Are you aware of any industrial hygiene studies regarding 
transferrence of lead to the hand, and/or the efficiency of "lead removal 
wipes" in removing residues.
2.  In your facilities, do you use these kinds of wipes?
3.  If not, what measures do you normally use for operators cleaning hands 

to remove potentially harmful material?

I will probably discuss this with our crackerjack metallurgist when he 
returns from travel tomorrow, but thought I would ask in the mean time.

Doug Pauls
