A question for exhibit designers and fabricators:

Sheet lead has been proposed as a  construction material for an exhibit
handrail.  Although this material is used for roofing, and assumedly
handled by roofers during construction, concern has been raised about
the health hazards for visitors, especially children, who may
touch the rail.  Anyone familiar with this material or lead standards?

tia for any info,
Cindy
