What will be covered in the lead safe work practices class?
This class teaches attendees lead-safe work practices and strategies for implementing lead safety. Many homes built before 1978 contain lead-based paint, so renovation, remodeling and repair activities need to use methods that reduce and control dust and debris. Even a small amount of dust containing lead can pose a serious health risk to children and families.
