"Lead-Based Paint Maintenance Training Course: Work Smart, Work Wet, and Work Clean to Work Lead Safe"

This training program presents the procedures for minimizing lead dust generation and soil contamination during maintenance activities, as defined by the EPA and HUD. If these procedures are correctly implemented, the risk of lead exposure to maintenance personnel, children, residents, and the families of maintenance personnel can be minimized. This training program does not train maintenance workers to do lead abatement.

This course is an update by HUD of the National Environmental Training Association course originally developed under a grant from U.S. EPA and HUD.

The course materials are an Instructor Manual and a Student Manual in PDF (portable document format) files, and slides in PowerPoint files. The Student Manual is 100 pages in length and the Instructor Manual is 124 pages in length. The Manuals have an introduction and 10 modules; there is a set of slides for the introduction and each module.
