Lead Inspector
Refresher Certification Course
Course Overview
This one-day course refreshes attendees on the key fundamentals of performing lead inspections in “target housing” (pre-1978 dwellings) or “child-occupied facilities” within the State of Michigan.
Key Topics Include:
- Characteristics and uses of lead-based paint
- Health effects of lead exposure on adults and children
- Types of lead-based paint housing components
- Identification of other lead-containing materials in housing
- X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis
- Paint chip and dust wipe sampling methodologies
- Clearance examination procedures
- Required documentation and report creation standards
Additionally, this course assists attendees in keeping up with the latest industry changes and new requirements from federal or state regulations.
Certification Process: Upon completion of this course, attendees must submit their certificate and pay fees to the State of Michigan to renew their state certification as lead inspectors. Participants must also pass a third-party (State) certification exam. Additionally, state regulations require lead inspectors to undergo XRF manufacturer training prior to conducting XRF analysis.
Important Note:
As per the Michigan Lead Abatement Act, individuals who wish to test for lead-based paint in target housing and child-occupied facilities must maintain their state certification as licensed lead inspectors 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.
