Property managers, landlords, tradespeople, employers (PCBUs) and homeowners who are concerned about surfaces or materials that may contain lead can use our All Clear Lead Assessment to determine the amount of lead present in paint flakes, dust, or soil in order to assess the risk of exposure to lead and provide recommendations for the management of lead-containing paint, dust or soil (if identified).
Our All Clear Lead Assessment assists clients fulfil their obligations under the HSE Act (2015), which states that employers, principal contractors and/or PCBUs are required, so far as is reasonably practicable, to identify, eliminate, isolate or minimise the hazards associated with lead-containing paint (LCP) within a workplace.
