Why Lead Safety Matters for Your Team & Community
Lead is most commonly found in old paint, plumbing, and soil near older buildings. When disturbed, it creates dust and chips that can be harmful when inhaled or ingested. Children are especially at risk, but adults exposed at work can face health problems too.
In New England, where many buildings were built before 1978 (when lead-based paint was banned), the risk is still very real. We help you identify hazards and take steps to keep your workplace safe.
Who Needs Lead Consulting?
You may need lead consulting if you’re responsible for a commercial building, renovation project, or workplace where lead could be present. This is especially common in New Hampshire, where many older buildings were constructed before lead-based paint was banned.
Older Buildings (Pre-1978)
Many older commercial and industrial buildings contain lead-based paint on walls, windows, doors, and structural components. When paint deteriorates or is disturbed, it can create hazardous lead dust that may expose employees or contractors.
Renovation, Repair, or Painting Projects
Construction, painting, or demolition work in older buildings can release lead dust if painted surfaces or materials are disturbed. Lead consulting helps identify risks early and plan work safely before projects begin.
Lead in Water & Plumbing Systems
Older pipes, solder, or plumbing fixtures can introduce lead in water, even when paint hazards aren’t obvious. Testing helps determine whether workplace water systems pose a potential exposure risk for employees.
Lead Dust in Workspaces
Lead dust can settle on floors, windowsills, equipment, and work surfaces, particularly in older facilities. Lead dust testing helps confirm whether controls or cleanup are needed to protect workers and maintain a safe environment.

Lead FAQs
Any building built before 1978 may have lead-based paint, plumbing, or soil contamination. A lead inspection or lead risk assessment helps you know for sure and avoid unnecessary health risks.
Lead consulting means identifying risks, testing, and guiding you on safe next steps. Lead paint removal (abatement) is the physical process of safely removing or sealing lead hazards, which must be done by certified professionals. We provide consulting services and will connect you with the right resources for abatement, if needed.
Yes. Old pipes, plumbing fixtures, or solder joints can leach lead into water. which is why water sampling is an important part of a full inspection.
If your building is under renovation or has peeling paint, lead dust testing can confirm whether hazardous dust is present. It’s a simple way to protect your team and avoid costly cleanup later.
Anyone performing lead paint removal or abatement work must be certified. Our consultants help businesses and contractors understand requirements, meet EPA and OSHA rules, and keep workers protected.
