Following Safety Protocol
Luckily as these concerning lead levels were discovered, changes were made. By March 2020, the restoration workers were required to follow rigorous safety protocols and decontamination procedures. Workers are only allowed to be in the building for two and a half hours at a time and they must dispose of their safety garments afterwards. They then must wash themselves rigorously, and sometimes may need to take multiple showers a day.
Failed To Clean Up Properly
Another concerning point is the fact that authorities did not properly clean the surrounding areas around the church directly after the fire. It actually took four months of a full decontamination to take place in the surrounding neighborhood.
