Environmental · Defined
Lead risk assessment
An evaluation of lead hazards, potentially involving paint, dust, or soil, under the applicable assessment requirements.
Why it matters
Presence of lead-based paint and the existence of a hazard are related but distinct findings. Recommendations should be interpreted within the assessed conditions and scope.
In practice
A project example
Deteriorating paint and associated dust require a different response from an inventory of intact painted components.
