Lead Awareness Training for Construction Industry
Our Lead Awareness Training for Construction Industry is designed to provide general information and guidelines related to lead exposure to workers, foremen, and supervisors engaged in work operations on a construction worksite in compliance with OSHA’s Lead Standard for the Construction Industry, 29 CFR 1926.62. Lead exposure is a serious threat to workers who work around lead or lead-containing materials in a number of industries including the construction industry. Overtime, lead exposure can lead to a host of serious health conditions for both workers and their families. OSHA regulations require annual training for all workers exposed to lead in their workplaces. This course is designed to comply with OSHA’s initial and annual lead awareness training requirements.
The core objective of the Lead Awareness Online Training course is to provide a basic understanding of OSHA’s Lead Standard for the Construction Industry. The course will also examine the physical and chemical properties of lead, the health hazards associated with lead exposure, and the safe work practices and engineering controls that must be implemented to minimize exposure to this toxic metal.

After course completion the learner will be able to:
- Summarize OSHA regulations pertaining to lead exposure in the construction industry;

A Final Note
It is important to remember that attending a training course on its own will not make a worker competent. Competence is developed over time by implementing the knowledge acquired through a training course on the job work processes. Therefore, in addition to this online course it is important that you receive additional on site training from your employer.
