The Lead Risk Assessor training course provides information for those individuals who wish to perform lead-based paint Risk Assessment or Lead Hazard Screening services. This class will prepare students to perform on-site inspection, take samples, determine the severity of lead hazards, and develop options for eliminating those hazards.
A Risk Assessor can perform all of the duties that an Inspector can (including work that falls under the Lead RRP Rule and HUD's Lead-Safe Housing rule). In addition, a Risk Assessor is responsible for identifying all lead-based paint hazards and making recommendations for their treatment, including maintenance and monitoring schedules.
The Lead Inspector class is a pre-requisite for Lead Risk Assessor, in addition to education and experience requirements - please confirm eligibility for this course prior to registering.

| Reciprocity | There are numerous reciprocity agreements with EPA and other states with authorized lead-based paint programs. Your state may accept training for certification programs from those training providers accredited by EPA or other state authorized programs. Because reciprocity agreements are subject to change, it is strongly recommended that you contact your state's accrediting body before taking training from an outside source. |

Same instructor as the Lead Inspector Initial. In both cases, the instructor demonstrated not only clear understanding of the subject matter, but a good ability to communicate it efficiently, and in a manner the students could understand. I would recommend him to anyone. 1420 Chestnut Street, Portsmouth, VA 23704
