An impact surface is defined as what?

• A. an interior or exterior surface that is subject to damage from repeated impacts (parts of door frames)
• B. surfaces that never contact people
• C. surfaces only in garages
• D. surfaces that are decorative

Answer: (A)

Impact surfaces are interior or exterior surfaces that are prone to damage from repeated contact or blows. When such areas have lead-based paint, the inevitable chipping or sanding from daily use can release lead dust and paint fragments, creating exposure risks. Door frames, baseboards, window sills, stairs, and porches are typical examples because they are routinely bumped, rubbed, or struck. The other options don’t describe surfaces likely to be damaged by repeated impacts, nor do they address the exposure risk from chipped lead paint.
