Lead Abatement and Lead Control Measures

Lead has been banned from various products in the U.S for many years, however, the hazards of Lead still exist today.

Lead hazards are commonly found in deteriorating paint, lead-contaminated dust, and/or soil around older buildings. Lead containing materials are often present on windows, doors, trim, stairs, porches, and other friction or impact surfaces in structures. Lead hazards can also be found in places such as construction and renovations sites where lead paint might be disturbed.

New Guidelines concerning the disruption of lead based paint in workplaces such as schools and municipal facilities have recently been enacted and fines for not taking proper precautions can be costly. Knowing the regulations and doing tasks properly is key.
