ABOUT THE SESSION

Lead can be encountered in many forms in buildings and on construction projects, such as in paints, dust, and contamination from previous operations. Improper disturbance can result in lead exposures to workers or building occupants. This complimentary seminar reviews the major concerns with lead today, as well as the recent changes to the Ministry of Labour guidelines and policies that employers must follow for the protection of workers.
