LeadSafe Washington

LeadSafe Washington is a state program dedicated to protecting residents from lead exposure, especially in homes, schools, and childcare facilities built before 1978 when lead-based paint was common. The program offers resources, education, and assistance for testing and safely removing or managing lead hazards. Its goal is to prevent health issues such as developmental delays and other serious problems caused by lead poisoning, particularly in children. By promoting safe renovation practices and providing support to property owners and caregivers, LeadSafe Washington helps create healthier environments and reduce lead-related health risks.
