LEAD CLEARANCE TECHNICIAN TRAINING COURSE

This a 12-hour Lead Clearance Technician training course required by the Ohio Department of Health to apply for a Lead Clearance Technician license.

The purpose of this course is to equip Clearance Technicians with the specialized skills necessary to conduct accurate and defensible residential lead clearance examinations for dust wipes only, in NON-abatement jobs. Course follows EPA curriculum and is customized to Ohio regulations.

This two-day class (6 hours per day) allows you to perform clearance reports for NON-abatement jobs (no poisoned child involved/non lead hazard control order in effect). You learn to take dust wipe samples only.

It does NOT allow you to test paint or soil.

Clearance Technicians may only do a clearance after non abatement jobs, such as renovations for the general improvement of the property, or residential rental unit maintenance to prevent poisoning. Clearance examinations are also needed by landlords to determine lead-safe rental property registries required by some mandatory city and voluntary state rules.

COURSE TOPICS

History of lead use, sources of environmental lead contamination, development of sampling strategies, lead-based paint sampling and analysis, clearance report generation, testing of other media for lead contamination, Ohio Department of Health rules, EPA/HUD regulations, , disclosure requirements.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Persons who wish to serve landlords trying to show lead–safe status of rental properties for city ordinances such as those recently passed by the Cities of Cleveland and Toledo. After rental property maintenance practices have been performed by a RRP trained, EPA certified renovator, OR an Ohio Licensed Abatement Contractor or Project Designer,  a Clearance Technician will perform a lead clearance and issue a report.
