If you own a home built prior to 1978, there is a good chance that lead base paint is still present in the home. Renovations will disturb this paint, creating a fine lead dust. Only a microscopic amount of leaded dust can poison an infant, small child and/or pregnant woman. Persons on this list have completed a HUD approved course that covers lead safe practices and clean up to minimize risks to you and your family.
The Lead Safe Renovator List (15 pages) confirms the listed contractors have been trained in lead-safe work practices to help protect you and your family during renovations and provide proper clean-up when renovations are complete. HUD approved courses indicate additional training has been completed. |
