Our Lead Awareness for General Industry Online course 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.

The objectives of this Lead Awareness for General Industry Online 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:
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 applies 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, or EPA standards. Again, this training is for "awareness" only. Visit the EPA website to contact the appropriate party to learn 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, students 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.
The bottom line in ALL SITUATIONS is that employers are required to ensure that their employees are adequately trained to do their job.
