Lead Risk Assessment Protocol

The Lead Risk Assessment Protocol is a process used to identify and evaluate potential hazards related to lead in buildings, especially older homes. It checks for sources of lead exposure, such as lead-based paint or contaminated dust, and assesses the risk of lead poisoning, particularly for children and pregnant women. The goal is to determine if lead hazards are present, how severe they are, and what steps are needed to reduce or eliminate them. This helps protect health and ensures safer environments by guiding appropriate lead hazard management and remediation.
