OSHA Education School’s online Advanced Lead Awareness for Construction course addresses the specific types of operations that could result in exposure to lead above the reaction level. Participants will learn the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) requirements for ensuring the highest safety standards in the workplace. Specific course topics include the following:
Overview of lead awareness in construction
Lead awareness program requirements
How a lead awareness program works
The properties and uses of lead
Health hazards associated with lead
Standards and exposure limits
Medical surveillance and lead removal
Lead controls
Industry terms that will be discussed at length include the following:
EPA
OSHA
Lead hazards
Lead awareness
Material safety data sheets (MSDS)
descriptionThis course, when combined with work and site-specific training, satisfies OSHA's initial and yearly lead awareness training standards set out in 29 CFR 1926.59 and 1926.62. (l). This course covers the characteristics and applications of lead, the health risks associated with lead, lead standards and exposure limits, medical surveillance and removal concerns, occupational lead control, and other sources of information. Specific issues addressed by the standard include, but are not limited to, warning signs and labels, safety data sheets (SDS), staff information and training.
You must score at least 70% to pass this OSHA 1 training. You will be given up to THREE opportunities to pass the quizzes and final exam.
