Safe Lead Practices
Safe lead practices refer to guidelines and procedures designed to minimize exposure to lead, a toxic metal that can harm health. These practices include identifying lead sources, using personal protective equipment (PPE), proper ventilation, and thorough cleaning methods to avoid contamination. It's crucial to encapsulate or safely remove lead from buildings and products, especially in homes with young children or pregnant women. Awareness and education on proper handling and disposal of lead-containing materials help prevent health risks and ensure a safer environment for everyone.
