Identifying Methods to Evaluate and Reduce Lead Hazards

Learn how to protect your child with a Family Lead Safety Plan.

Technical Assistance

Contractors, housing developers, government housing and health officials, owners and residents often want to control lead hazards, but don't know how to do it. There are many different methods to choose from, and often people are confused about what is the best and most cost effective method to meet their own needs.

In addition, everyone who disturbs paint in older homes (especially those built before 1950) needs to be aware of the dangers that may be created for themselves and for children in the home. Homeowners or renters doing their own fix-up or minor repair jobs, maintenance workers in rental housing and professional home renovators and painters need to learn how to work in a lead-safe manner.

Lead hazard control need not be costly and it need not be confusing. The Center can provide support and advice on how to perform repairs and renovations in a lead-safe way.
