Course Outline:

Construction managers, architects, engineers and facilities managers need to be concerned about potential hazards from lead dust and lead-based paints. Lead may be present in lead-based building paint or corrosion-resistant coatings or may be residual contamination in a building from industrial operations or firing ranges. Regardless of the source, building managers and contractors are responsible to identify and control any potential hazard during use of the building, and especially during renovations or demolition. This course is designed to familiarize attendees with the concerns and solutions for lead control.
