OSHA Lead in Construction Advisor

The Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Lead in Construction Advisor helps construction employers, whose workers may be exposed to lead, understand and comply with OSHA's regulations regarding occupational exposure to lead. The OSHA Lead in Construction Advisor provides guidance only. It does not replace the official rule (29 CFR, Part 1926.62).

Use of this system does not result in any report or record to the government.

The OSHA Lead in Construction Advisor is one of a series of elaws (Employment Laws Assistance for Workers and Small Businesses) Advisors developed by the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) to help employers and employees understand their rights and responsibilities under Federal employment laws. To view the entire list of elaws Advisors please visit the elaws website.
