What is the required training duration for high risk deleading workers?

The required training duration for high-risk deleading workers is three days. This training is essential for individuals who will be involved in lead hazard remediation activities in residential properties, particularly those built before 1978 when lead-based paints were still commonly used.

The three-day training program ensures that workers are adequately prepared to identify lead hazards, understand the health risks associated with lead exposure, and learn the safe methods and procedures for deleading. The emphasis is placed on practical skills, safety protocols, and regulatory compliance to ensure that they can perform their duties effectively and protect both themselves and the occupants of the properties being worked on.

This duration underscores the importance of comprehensive training in lead safety practices, which is critical given the serious health implications lead exposure can have, especially on children and pregnant women.
