Estimates from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) indicate that over three million workers in the United States may be exposed to lead while performing their jobs. This course is designed to provide basic awareness about lead, including its potential health risks, methods for prevention, and the regulatory requirements established by Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) under standard 1926.62 related to lead exposure.
