This one-day course refreshes attendees on the key fundamentals of performing lead abatement activities

Key Topics Include:

• Characteristics and uses of lead-based paint
• Health effects of lead exposure on adults and children
• Lead removal and containment methods
• Proper lead-safe cleaning procedures following abatement projects
• Personal protective equipment (PPE) and respirator use
• Proper waste disposal methods

Additionally, the course updates attendees on the latest industry changes, new requirements, and interpretations from federal or state regulations.

Certification Process: Upon completion of this course, attendees must submit their certificate and fees to the State of Michigan to renew their state certification as lead abatement workers. Participants must also pass a third-party (State) certification exam. Michigan law requires a licensed Lead Abatement Supervisor to be present while lead workers perform lead hazard controls.

Important Note:
As per the Michigan Lead Abatement Act, contractors and their employees engaged in controlling lead hazards in target housing and child-occupied facilities must first become licensed lead abatement workers or supervisors and work for a licensed lead abatement contractor. These certifications must be renewed every 3 years. While required applications are provided during the training course, fees and third-party (State) licensing exams are not included in the course cost.
