Lead Management Program

A Lead Management Program can be defined as a formulated plan of training, work practices, surveillance, and recordkeeping for the purpose of maintaining lead-containing materials in good condition.

A Lead Management Program is designed to:

• Help to protect the health and safety of all persons who may come into contact with Lead Containing Building Materials.

• Help to improve compliance with all Federal, State and Local Regulatory Agencies

Benefits of a Lead Management Program include:

• Strongly emphasizes the importance of in-place lead management

• Provides an effective, less costly alternative to wholesale removal operations

• Emphasizes the use of lead-safe work practices

• Reinforces to building owners, lenders, insurers, and building managers that a properly conducted Lead Management Program can in many cases be as appropriate as the lead control strategy of removal.
