Residential lead hazard reduction program

A Residential Lead Hazard Reduction Program aims to identify and remove or minimize lead-based paint hazards in homes, especially those built before 1978. Lead exposure can cause serious health problems, particularly in children. The program involves inspecting homes, testing for lead, and applying safe, effective treatments to eliminate lead dust or paint chips. It also provides education to homeowners and tenants about the risks and maintenance practices. The goal is to create healthier living environments, prevent lead poisoning, and comply with safety standards to protect residents from the dangers of lead exposure.
