Subject:  Working with Lead (safety perspective)





Mark,

  Hi, I'm Ruben Castillo with XeTel Corporation in Austin, TX.  We are
an IPC member and I handle the company's Environmental, Safety & Health
programs.  We are a circuit board assembly plant.  We train on general
and industry specific safety topics company-wide and one of these topics
is working with lead.  Over the last few years, I've looked at most of
what the companies have to offer that produce safety videos and I've
never been able to find a suitable video to use for training in this
area.  Either the videos are industry specific (but, non-electronic) or
too generic (covers too much that doesn't apply to our industry).  I
wonder if other electronic companies have this problem?  Could this be
considered a future video project from IPC?
  Although I'm preparing to preview your videos on hand soldering, wave
solder, and solder paste printing, would you consider making a "Working
Safely with Lead" video by splicing together the safety portions of
these videos?  I find safety videos of approximately 12 minutes in
length to work best. What are your thoughts on this? I would be willing
to assist in such a project.   Is there any other electronic industry
source you know of that I might try?


Thanks,


- Ruben Castillo
