Lead exposure in the workplace remains a hidden threat that can cause irreversible damage to workers' brains, kidneys, and reproductive systems, even at surprisingly low levels that many employers don't realize are dangerous. This comprehensive course examines California's newly revised lead exposure standards that took effect in February 2024, which are significantly more stringent than federal OSHA requirements. Participants will learn to identify high-risk workplace activities across construction, manufacturing, transportation, and other industries, understand Cal/OSHA's updated permissible exposure limit of 10 μg/m³ and action level of 2 μg/m³, and master essential control measures including engineering controls, hygiene protocols, respiratory protection, and medical surveillance programs to protect workers and prevent lead contamination from reaching families at home.
