Lead Hazard Risk Assessment
A Lead Hazard Risk Assessment is a process used to identify if a building or home contains lead-based paint or other sources of lead that could pose health risks, especially to children and pregnant women. Professionals evaluate the property for areas where lead might be disturbed or deteriorating, measure lead levels, and determine the likelihood of exposure. The goal is to assess potential hazards, inform necessary repairs or precautions, and ensure the environment is safe. This assessment helps protect residents from harmful lead exposure and guides decisions on maintenance or remediation efforts.
