What's New in the Revised Lead Construction Standard

Lead is highly toxic. In the construction industry, lead exposure is a serious risk many workers face daily. It can cause damage to the brain, nervous system, kidneys, and other vital organs.

Lead exposure can occur during a variety of job activities, like demolition, removal of lead-containing materials, and tasks like grinding, sanding, welding, and torch cutting lead-containing materials. Lead can be found in paints and other coatings, some roofing materials, plumbing materials and cable sheathing. Lead presents a potentially serious occupational health hazard when lead-containing particulates become airborne.

To better protect workers, new regulations for lead took effect January 1, 2025.

This live, virtual webinar, led by experts from the California Department of Public Health, Cal/OSHA, and State Fund, will walk you through everything you need to know about the new regulations including extensive revisions to the standard and how to apply them to your workplace.

We will cover

• The definition of lead and where it is found in the field.
• The toxic effects of lead exposure.
• How the new Cal/OSHA standard addresses the health risks of occupational lead exposure.
• Common trigger tasks.
• Real stories of workers impacted by lead poisoning.

Our seminars are free and open to all California employers and insurance brokers. This event features a 60-minute presentation that includes a Q&A session.
