OSHA Lead Awareness Training.
OSHA requires that employers must institute an
information and training program and ensure that all
employees subject to exposure to lead or lead
ompounds at or above the action level on any day
participate.
Our complete schedule of Lead Safe Work Practices
training meets standards set forth by US Housing
and Urban Development (HUD) in the Lead Safe
Housing Rule.
EEA has obtained accreditation to provide the USEPA
Lead Renovation, Remodeling and Painting Program
rule and offers the one-day Lead Renovators Course
and the half-day Lead Renovators Refresher Course.
There are three categories of Lead Hazard Control
Training. Need for training is based on specific
regulatory requirements or by the intent of the home
improvement activities. US HUD and US EPA
requirements apply primarily to pre-1978 residential
or "target" housing or child-occupied facilities. The
US OSHA Construction requirements are determined
by the amount of airborne lead an employee may be
or has been exposed to regardless of where the work
takes place.
EPA Lead Certification Training.
US EPA, under Section 402 of the Toxic Substances
Control Act (TSCA), requires certification for all those
involved in lead inspections, lead risk assessment
and lead abatement. Abatement is generally
considered to be those home improvement activities
where the primary intent is to reduce or eliminate
lead based paint or lead based paint hazards or
those activities done to address lead based paint
hazards in a unit occupied by a child with an
elevated blood level (EBL). Abatement does not
include renovation, remodeling or maintenance when
the sole objective is not lead hazard control. This
includes most residential renovations, except those
done in public housing and those done in subsidized
housing when the Federal government has made a
substantial investment. Contact us for more detail or

or www.epa.gov/lead for
more information.
HUD Lead Safe Work Practices Training.
US HUD requires Lead Safe Work Practices (LSWP)
during most home improvement in subsidized
housing. The training element of LSWP offers three
options:
1. One-day Lead Safe Work Practices (also known as
Interim Controls Training) for all those involved in
lead-related home improvement.
2. US EPA Supervisor Certification for a designated
representative of the home improvement firm who
must be on site during all lead-related home
improvement.
3. US EPA Worker or Supervisor Certification for all
those involved in lead-related home improvement.
Each lead-based paint certification refresher training
is one 8-hour day.
