Course Description
Exposure to lead is extremely dangerous to the human body, causing lead poisoning in extreme cases. This course is governed by OSHA standards and provides students with vital health information. You’ll learn why lead is dangerous, how it enters the body, and how lead poisoning affects health. We also discuss the hazards of lead in the workplace, including the common sources of lead contamination. You’ll discover some sound practices for limiting exposure to lead using specific Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
This is an essential course for employees who know they work where lead exposure is possible, and for those who need to determine if there is lead present. It will help you limit exposure to safe levels and stay away from situations that could be hazardous to your health.
