Prior to 1978 lead-based paint was widely used, and any pre-1978 structure may contain lead-based paint. It is important to understand the difference between lead-based paint and a lead hazard. Lead hazards are not permitted in child care, but the simple existence of lead-based paint does not necessarily constitute a lead hazard. Lead-based paint that is deteriorating or on a friction surface are examples of a lead hazard that is not permitted in child care.
