Who Should take this course?
Our online Lead Awareness for General Industry Training provides a general awareness of lead, the risks, and the regulatory requirements for protecting employees who work with lead as required by OSHA.
This training course focuses specifically on the OSHA Standard for General Industry, found in Subpart Z, Toxic and Hazardous Substances, in 29 CFR 1910.1025.
This training course is also applicable to the Shipyard Industry, as the requirements for shipyard employment under 29 CFR 1915.1025 are identical to those set forth in 29 CFR 1910.1025.
Lead Awareness training must be taken annually per OSHA Regulations.
This course is NOT intended for the construction industry or workers who renovate sites that contain lead, sample lead dust, or abate lead in the workplace.The objectives of this online Lead Awareness for General Industry course are to inform students of the dangers of lead, the industries and locations in which lead is common, and the methods to protect themselves from exposure to lead.
The course will also introduce students to the Occupational Safety and Health Standard for General Industry, Subpart Z, Toxic and Hazardous Substances - 29 CFR 1910.1025.
This training course is also applicable to the Shipyard Industry, as the requirements for shipyard employment under 29 CFR 1915.1025 are identical to those set forth in 29 CFR 1910.1025.
This course can be taken as initial training or as an annually required refresher course.
These standards address construction work, including alteration, repair, renovation, and demolition of structures containing lead; they also address lead exposure in general industry, such as during brake and clutch repair, custodial work, and manufacture of lead-containing products.
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
This course has one section, which should take approximately 45 minutes to complete, and is followed by a final assignment and course evaluation.
This course has one final exam based upon the material in the 3 course sections.
The exam consists of 10 questions selected at random from a larger pool of questions. A score of 70% or better is required to pass each exam. If a student does not pass the exam the first time, they may retake the exam as many times as necessary in order to pass.
If you are exposed to lead at your workplace above the Permissible Exposure Level (PEL), additional training in the use of any Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provided by your employer for your safety is warranted. This training should be site-specific and utilize the PPE you will use as part of your job. This training must be provided prior to, or at the time of, initial assignment and at least yearly thereafter.
This training applied to General Industry and the Shipyard Industry. It does not apply to Construction. Workers that perform lead abatement work require training per their local state EPA standards. Again, this training is for "awareness" only. Visit the EPA website to contact the appropriate party to know more about abatement training and requirements in your state.
Finally, workers must receive additional training, when required by OSHA standards, on the specific hazards of their job. Training Providers should be used to ensure credibility and augment a company's training program. Therefore, in addition to the training provided by an outside party, a student should receive site-specific training supplied by their employer. This training should target the company's unique approach to hazard prevention, including the use of site-specific equipment, health and safety policies, and emergency procedures. As a rule, this company-specific training should be well documented.
