Descriptions of Courses Offered by Baker Environmental Consulting, Inc.
 
 

Lead Hazard Awareness

Any employee that works in any environment/area that may involve exposure to lead MUST be given Lead Hazard Awareness training. Under the OSHA regulations governing Hazard Communication and Lead Exposure in the Workplace, employees must be given education/training about their exposures. This specialized training course allows employers to comply with the OSHA regulatory requirements, while it assists employees by informing them how to help protect themselves from the hazards of lead. A few of the topics of discussion include; What are the hazards of lead exposure, What are the effects of lead exposure, How an employee can be exposed to lead while doing their job, and How an employee can prevent exposure to lead when doing their job.

Lead-Safe Work Practices

All persons who provide construction trade services (e.g., Carpentry, Painting, Renovation, Remodeling, HVAC, Plumbing, Electrical, Modernization, Repair, Maintenance, etc.) in houses built before 1978 should attend this 1-day professional training course. The objectives of the course are to assist people in the construction trades to do their jobs in a manner that will greatly reduce the likelihood of exposure to the hazards of lead. This course is currently required for any and all persons and firms that work on federally owned or federally assisted/funded residential dwelling units that were built before 1978, when any work in that structure will impact at least 2 square feet of a surface area. The reason for the mandate is due to the fact that persons in construction related trades have a much higher incidence of causing lead poisoning, including the poisoning of their own families, than most all other trades.

Lead Hazard Control Worker *

Any and all employees who perform activities that have the potential to disturb lead containing materials (LCM), such as lead-based paint (LBP), must receive KDHE or DHSS accredited 24 hours of training prior to engaging in these activities. Attendees will learn about the historical uses of lead, the health effects of lead exposure, the OSHA Lead Standard, EPA and HUD Regulations regarding lead, personal protection equipment, and proper safety procedures for removing lead-based paint and handling materials containing lead.

Lead Hazard Control Supervisor *

This 40 hour course meets the KDHE & DHSS training requirements for individuals supervising or overseeing projects involving the disturbance of lead-based paint. Topics covered include: where lead is found today, historical and current uses of lead, health effects, medical monitoring, personal protective equipment, testing for lead, hazard control activities, engineering controls, legal liability, insurance considerations, community relations, supervisory skills and practices, and waste disposal.

Lead-Based Paint Inspector *

This 24 hour professional course is for persons who want to determine the presence of lead-based paint (LBP) in target housing, child-occupied facilities, commercial & public buildings, and industrial structures/facilities. Participants are given information about where to find lead in most structures, why lead has been used,  "state of the art" sample collection, and reporting requirements. This course also includes discussions on radiation safety for x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analyzers, theory and uses of XRF devices and the extreme importance of conducting a thorough LBP Inspection.

Lead Hazard Risk Assessor *

To take this 16 hour course, persons must first successfully complete the 24 hour LBP Inspector course. This course is designed to "build upon" the LBP Inspector course and provide course attendees with information about identification of lead hazards, so as to assist in the prevention of lead poisoning. Other topics of discussion include; liability considerations, the several different types of Risk Assessments (RA), procedures for accomplishing the various types of RA, the importance of visual examinations and what to look for, various causes of exposure to lead hazards due to paint and/or structural integrity failure, investigations of sources of exposure when a child has been lead poisoned, and how to figure pricing for the conduct of a RA. Many hands-on group exercises are used to assist in understanding the concepts.

Lead Project Designer *

Persons taking this eight (8) hour professional training course must have first successfully completed the 40 hour Lead Hazard Control Supervisor Course. A Project Designer (PD) has the important purpose of reviewing and interpreting LBP Inspection and Risk Assessment reports, determining the existence of problem areas, considering the efficacy of various strategies of lead hazard control, and providing applicable and appropriate methods of control. The course discusses how the PD has the responsibility to develop effective lead hazard control specifications, to design a lead hazard control project from start to finish and to provide cost effective and approved plans to properly address lead-based paint hazards.

* Refresher classes for the above certification/licensure courses are also available (required by KDHE & DHSS)
