Limiting lead exposure in indoor (and outdoor) shooting?

[Fromk]

I worked at an indoor range for about a year. When I started, somewhere in the middle, and toward the end they had my lead levels checked. They did this for all the employees. All my tests where fine and once a week part of my job was to pull bullets out of the rubber fill backstop. Other than the hazmat precautions on those days it was mostly about keeping our hands clean.

I think you're already doing a good job. Try not to eat until you've had a chance to thoroughly wash your hands. It is one of the big things people don't fully pay attention to especially if they have a snack. Along with good ventilation I imagine you'll be fine.

Much like we did you can arrange to have your lead level periodically checked out. If they stay even it means what you're doing is working.

EDIT: Keeping your shoes clean is also important. You're more likely to pick up unburnt powder than lead if you're up range.
