 QUESTION: Correct method for removing paint, 12 Oct 2005, South Australia Australia

We own a 1905 home - I would like to find out the correct removal method of lead paint? We are getting the fire place mantle dipped and pulling the window out, some of the window will be dipped and the rest my husband usually scrapes.
I am also pregnant and have a 16 month old at home should we move out? I'm also worried because we have had workers go up through the man-hole and had air conditioning ducts put through the house.
