Lead Hazards Awareness

Occupational exposure to lead in continues to be one of OSHA’s most frequently cited occupational health standard in construction. The lead safety-training courses developed by CSC have been proven to increase awareness of worker exposures to lead and help supervisors develop lead safety programs. The purpose of the Lead Hazards Awareness program is to inform the employee about the history of lead, hazards of lead and measures to eliminate or reduce exposure. At the end of the program, the employee will be knowledgeable about the history and sources of exposure to lead in the workplace, understand the hazards and health effects of lead, be knowledgeable about the exposure monitoring and medical surveillance process, understand engineering work practice controls and be knowledgeable about respirator protection in conjunction with other forms of personal protective equipment.
