Lead-Related Construction
āThe Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Branch (CLPPB) staff manages a program to ensure that construction activities
involving lead are performed in a manner to eliminate existing lead hazards, and
to avoid creating new lead poisoning hazards for children and other occupants,
as well as the workers themselves. The primary activities include:
- Evaluating and accrediting training providers who teach lead specialists how
to find and abate lead hazards.
- Evaluating the qualifications of applicants for lead certification, and
granting certification to those qualified to perform lead-related construction
work in an effective and lead-safe manner.
Please note: as of March 1, 2019, the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Lead Related Construction (LRC) program is no longer issuing lead certification cards. Online lead certificates can be accessed via your online profile. If you have questionsā, call 1-800-597-5323.
