Lead-safe work practices training

Lead-Safe Work Practices Training teaches workers how to safely handle materials that may contain lead, a toxic substance found in older buildings and paint. The training covers techniques to minimize lead dust and debris, protective measures for workers and occupants, proper cleanup methods, and safe disposal of lead-containing materials. This training is essential for anyone involved in renovation, repair, or demolition of structures built before 1978, ensuring that they protect themselves and the public from lead exposure, which can cause serious health issues, especially in children and pregnant women.
