Lead is one of the most common toxic elements found in industry and is a leading cause of workplace illness.
Lead exposure is a health problem worldwide. Nearly every construction trade has the opportunity for potential exposure to lead during “normal” construction tasks including carpenters, electricians, ironworkers, painters, plumbers, sheet metal workers, among others.
