What activities is a lead risk assessor licensed to conduct?

A lead risk assessor is specifically licensed to conduct lead risk assessments and clearance evaluations. Lead risk assessments involve evaluating a property for potential lead hazards, identifying sources of lead exposure, and determining the likelihood of lead-based paint exposure based on the condition of painted surfaces and the presence of lead dust. Clearance evaluations are conducted after lead hazard control activities to ensure the effectiveness of remediation efforts by testing for remaining lead levels in the environment.

This distinction is important because it highlights the specialized training lead risk assessors receive to perform these assessments and evaluations, ensuring that the properties they assess meet safety standards. The other activities listed, such as conducting only lead inspections or engaging in construction projects, do not fall under the specific purview of a lead risk assessor. Additionally, pesticide evaluations are unrelated to lead-related activities, which further clarifies the specialized role of a lead risk assessor in identifying and addressing lead hazards.
