What Does a Lead Abatement Worker Do?

A lead abatement worker removes, encloses or encapsulates lead-based paint and lead dust in homes and buildings, working inside containment with respirators and following EPA and state lead rules.

Workers hold an EPA or state lead abatement worker certification; EPA RRP covers renovation work that disturbs lead paint but is a separate credential.
