SAFEGUARD YOUR PROPERTY

Why Lead Abatement is Essential

Lead exposure, through contact with lead-containing materials, can result in severe health problems and even death. These health concerns include anemia, damage to the brain and nervous system, convulsions, and coma. Children are particularly susceptible to lead poisoning due to their developing bodies and increased lead absorption.

Due to the severe health risks and the fact that there is no known safe level of lead exposure, it is imperative that homeowners and contractors take immediate action to identify and safely remove lead-containing materials from their properties. This will significantly reduce the risk of lead exposure and protect your health.

DID YOU KNOW?

Lead was attributed to 1.5 million deaths globally in 2021, with an estimated 273,000 Canadians exposed to lead in their workplaces.

Lead Testing and Levels of Lead

Your safety is our top priorit y. We combine both lead testing and a hazardous materials report to confirm the presence and risk level of lead.

Lead Testing

Lead testing is conducted by:

Collecting bulk samples for analysis
Submitting samples to a certified laboratory
Receiving a report with results from the laboratory

Lead is often found in older buildings and on metal structures (particularly in paint), and in soil. Lead containing paints can contain anywhere from 0.009% to 50% lead by weight. Testing for lead is important to mitigate the serious and irreversible health risks associated with lead exposure.

Risk Levels of Lead

High-risk work activities involve working with or in proximity to ACMs if a high level of control (such as an airtight containment structure and powered air purifying/supplied-air respirator) is necessary to prevent exposure to airborne asbestos fibres.

The risk levels of working with lead-based paint are classified as:

low-risk
low-moderate-risk
moderate-risk
moderate-high-risk
high-risk

These risk levels are based on the level of exposure associated with the type of lead work activities being completed. Lead work activities means those that involve disturbing lead-containing materials. These activities can create dust, fumes, or mist in the air or on surfaces and require specialized controls.
