Lead Paint Consulting

Overview

In 1992, OSHA passed standards for the construction industry relative to lead (29 CFR 1926.62.).  Although many in the industry are aware of the new regulation, the significance of this rule goes unnoticed, and carried huge liability repercussions.  The new standards scope of work includes, demolition, renovation, alteration, and repair of buildings where lead is present.   Furthermore, the standard describes in detail, the specific procedures to follow when disturbing lead materials.  The standard does not, however, set a limit for what level of lead is regulated, companies or persons managing facilities constructed prior to 1978, should assume that lead paint is present.
