Lead is a toxic metal that has been used for centuries and is still found in many workplaces — in old paint and buildings, in construction and demolition, in some manufacturing and in scrap and recycling. Breathing in lead dust or fume, or swallowing it, can cause serious long-term harm to health. Because the risk is often invisible, anyone who may work with or disturb lead needs to understand it. This course explains what lead is, where it is found, and why and how it damages health.
It then covers the legal duties under the Control of Lead at Work Regulations, and the practical steps that keep workers safe: assessing and controlling exposure, air monitoring, blood-lead medical surveillance, and the hygiene measures that stop lead being ingested or taken home. It sets out safe working practices and the responsibilities of employers and workers. It is an awareness-level course that helps everyone involved recognise the risk from lead and support effective control.
