Corporate Training By Zack Academy - Worker Deleader Refresher

Do not let your Worker Deleader license expire! This refresher training provides participants with the information necessary to be recertified in the abatement industry with techniques for carrying out lead-based paint, soil and dust lead abatement. This course is designed for being recertified in the deleading of residential dwellings, including houses and large buildings with numerous units.

Abatement is any set of measures designed to permanently eliminate lead-based paint hazards. Abatement work that is not conducted by a Certified Worker Deleader is subject to heavy fines by local governments and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
