LeadSafe

LeadSafe is a program or practice aimed at reducing or eliminating exposure to lead, a toxic metal that can cause serious health problems, especially in children. It involves identifying sources of lead in homes, schools, or buildings—such as old paint or plumbing—and safely removing or restricting contact. LeadSafe standards ensure environments are safer, preventing lead poisoning and related health issues. The approach focuses on proper testing, renovation, and educational efforts to protect residents from lead hazards effectively.
