Screen the fellowship hall for Red-List building materials at Peoples Church

The fellowship hall's trim paint, flooring sealant and cabinetry have never been screened against the LBC Materials-petal Red List — a walkthrough names the swap-worthy finishes. Standard: undefined Proof: photo set of each finish + label/spec review notes + compiled swap plan + GPS Method (undefined): 1. Walk the fellowship hall and kitchen and photograph trim, flooring, cabinetry and sealant finishes. 2. Check product labels/spec sheets where available for known Red-List flags (VOC content, phthalates, halogenated flame retardants). 3. Rank each finish by exposure priority (high-touch, high-occupancy rooms first). 4. Compile the swap plan naming the priority finishes and healthy-alternative products. Done when: photo set of each finish + label/spec review notes + compiled swap plan + GPS

How this work is done

A documented method, so this packet comes out the same whoever does it. Typically 75–150 minutes. Method of record: Healthy-materials (Red List) swap plan — room-by-room finish inventory against the LBC Red List (PVC, formaldehyde, phthalates, halogenated flame retardants, added antimicrobials, alkylphenols), exposure-ranked for the household's actual contact pattern, with named compliant alternatives (Declare-labelled / EPA Safer Choice / material-class substitutes) and a prioritized, budgetable swap plan the household owns. Observation/planning only.

Bring

• camera
• tablet/clipboard with the LBC Red List reference + Declare label lookup
• flashlight (cabinet interiors, closets, undersides)
• tape measure (surface-area estimation for exposure ranking)
• PPE: N95 mask + nitrile gloves (do not disturb, but prudent near suspect finishes)

Steps

1. 1. Sit with the household first: what bothers them (odors, symptoms, a child or pregnancy motivating the swap)? What surfaces do they spend the most time on or in contact with? Record their concerns in their own words — the swap plan is ranked against THEIR exposure pattern, not a generic checklist.
2. 2. Walk every room; photograph each finish category (flooring, wall covering/paint, ceiling, casework/cabinetry, sealants/caulk, window treatments, carpet/pad). Record product names, manufacturers, and material composition where labels or spec sheets are legible; mark 'unknown — request product data' where not.
3. 3. Flag each item against the LBC Red List: PVC / vinyl (flooring, blinds, shower curtain, wire insulation), formaldehyde binders (particleboard, MDF, plywood, laminate), phthalate plasticizers (flexible vinyl, some paints), halogenated flame retardants (foam furniture, carpet pad, electronics housings), added antimicrobials (countertops, textiles marketed as 'antimicrobial'), alkylphenol surfactants (some paints, adhesives). Cross-check against the Declare label database for any recognized products.
4. 4. Rank flagged items by exposure: (a) hours per day the household is in direct contact (sleeping on, sitting on, walking on, breathing over), (b) surface area, (c) ventilation of the room, (d) occupant vulnerability (child, infant, pregnant person, person with respiratory condition). Highest-exposure items rank first — a formaldehyde-binder cabinet in a sealed bedroom outranks vinyl baseboard in a ventilated hallway.
5. 5. For each flagged item, name a specific compliant alternative: material class (e.g., solid wood, natural linoleum, wool carpet, zero-VOC paint, GOTS-certified textile), and where possible a product category or Declare-labelled example. Note whether the swap is DIY-safe (paint, blinds, shower curtain), handy-level (floating floor, cabinet hardware), or contractor-required (glued flooring, built-in cabinetry).
6. 6. Assemble the prioritized swap plan: sequence by exposure rank, group into budget phases (zero-cost/low-cost swaps the household can do this weekend → mid-range swaps worth saving for → contractor-scale replacements), and note items that can safely be left alone (intact, encapsulated, low-exposure, or already compliant).
7. 7. Review the plan WITH the household so they own the priorities and the reasoning. Enter photos, GPS/address, the Red List inventory, exposure ranking, named alternatives, and the swap plan; sign. The family's claim of a healthier home = this plan + this evidence — Real (walked and inventoried), Proven (photo + GPS + signature), One-of-one (this home, this family's exposure pattern).

If it does not match the plan

• Suspected asbestos-containing material (9x9 floor tile, pipe wrap, vermiculite insulation, textured/popcorn ceiling applied before mid-1980s) -> do NOT disturb, sample, or scrape; photograph intact only, flag as 'abatement-required before any swap', and route to a licensed asbestos inspector / abatement professional.
• Pre-1978 building with deteriorated paint on any surface slated for swap (sanding, scraping, removal) -> do NOT disturb; flag as EPA RRP-regulated and route to a Lead-Safe Certified firm; the swap plan item is gated behind RRP clearance.
• Finish is friable, crumbling, or generating visible dust (degraded foam, powdering tile, flaking paint) -> STOP work in that area, restrict access, and route to the appropriate licensed abatement professional before any swap proceeds.
• Unlabeled material with no product data available -> mark 'unknown composition — request product data from builder/landlord or assume worst-case (Red List present) for exposure-ranking purposes'; do not guess.

What counts as done

• Household's material concerns and exposure pattern recorded in their own words and used as the ranking frame
• Every room's finishes photographed and inventoried with Red List flags (or 'compliant' / 'unknown') per item
• Exposure ranking delivered: items ordered by contact hours × surface area × ventilation × occupant vulnerability
• Named compliant alternative per flagged item (material class + Declare/Safer Choice reference where available)
• Prioritized swap plan delivered: phased by budget, DIY/handy/contractor noted, items safe to leave in place identified

Proof is measured against these, not judged by taste.
