Course Overview
The Lead Safety in Construction course from the American Institute of Safety Professionals trains students on the handling of lead hazards in construction settings according to OSHA §1926.62. The course examines OSHA guidelines on the lead permissible exposure limit (PEL) of 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air (50 µg/m³) as an 8-hour time-weighted average (TWA) along with guidelines for extended work shifts and respirator usage. The course provides training and practice to the students on performing exposure assessments and lead exposure initial assessments using representative full-shift sampling and calculating lead exposure levels without an active respirator. The course helps students and employers understand the responsibility of assumed employer protection during high exposure risk activities like manual demolition, sanding, scraping, work with heat guns, power tool cleaning, spray painting, and other lead containing materials. Students learn the exposure control procedures, including the implementation of respirator protective measures and protective clothing to prevent health risks to workers. This program emphasizes the importance of creating a safe work environment, maintaining OSHA lead standards, and protecting employees from lead exposure health risks in construction activities.
