The Pb82-206 Contractors Lead Paint Course has been developed specifically for professionals in the capacity of Principle Contractor or sub contractors who’s remit involves soft strip, site clearance, re-decoration and refurbishment and professionals who may encounter lead-based paint in the course of their work. This training provides not just essential awareness but a certificate of Understanding of the presence, risks, and regulatory responsibilities associated with lead paint in buildings constructed prior to the year 1992.

When disturbed—whether by sanding, scraping, cutting or heat application—lead-based coatings can release fine dust and particulates or fumes, posing a serious risk to health. The Pb82-206 course has been carefully designed to equip contractors with the practical knowledge required to recognise lead paint risks, understand the legal obligations placed upon them, and implement safe working methods in real-world scenarios.
