Course Overview

Lead is a naturally occurring metal that has been used for centuries in products ranging from paint and plumbing materials to batteries, ammunition, and construction materials. Although many uses of lead have been phased out, exposure remains a significant occupational and environmental health concern. Lead may still be found in older buildings, contaminated soil, drinking water systems, industrial workplaces, and certain consumer products.

Workers in construction, manufacturing, demolition, renovation, maintenance, shipbuilding, and related industries may face an increased risk of exposure when disturbing lead-containing materials. Individuals renovating older homes, working with lead-based paints, or participating in hobbies involving lead can also be exposed to hazardous levels.

Exposure to lead can affect nearly every organ system in the body, including the nervous system, kidneys, reproductive system, and cardiovascular system. Even low levels of exposure may result in serious health effects over time, making awareness and prevention essential.

This training course explains where lead hazards exist, how exposure occurs, and the steps employees and employers can take to reduce risks. Participants will also gain an understanding of important OSHA and EPA regulations, including OSHA Lead Standards for General Industry, Shipyards, and Construction, along with EPA requirements that help protect workers and the public from hazardous lead exposure.

Whether you work in construction, manufacturing, facility maintenance, environmental services, or another industry where lead hazards may exist, this course provides practical guidance to help maintain a safer and healthier workplace.
