National Lead Safety Program

The National Lead Safety Program is a set of regulations and guidelines aimed at protecting people from lead exposure, particularly during renovation, repair, or painting of buildings. Lead is a toxic metal that can cause serious health problems, especially in children and pregnant women. The program ensures safe practices by setting standards for testings, certifications, and proper removal of lead-based paint. Its goal is to prevent lead poisoning by reducing risks at construction sites and ensuring workers and the public are protected from harmful lead dust and particles.
