Lead Safety Program

A Lead Safety Program is a structured approach to protecting people from exposure to lead, a toxic metal that can cause health problems. It involves identifying potential sources of lead, especially in older buildings or materials like paint and pipes, and implementing measures such as testing, proper removal or containment, and worker protection protocols. The goal is to minimize lead dust or particles in the environment, ensuring safety during renovation, construction, or maintenance activities, and ultimately preventing lead poisoning for residents, workers, and the community.
