Who can Delead?
A licensed deleader must perform any high-risk deleading. An owner or agent (someone working for the owner who is not a licensed deleader) may perform some specific low-risk deleading tasks. Prior to starting the work, the owner or agent must review training materials, take an at-home test and return it to the Massachusetts Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP). To receive training materials and the test, call CLPPP at (800) 532-9571. An owner or agent may also perform some specific moderate-risk deleading tasks. Moderate-risk is removal and replacement of whole building components. Prior to starting the work for moderate-risk deleading, the owner/agent must first take a class in how to do this work and the clean-up safely and properly. A lead-safe renovator may also do moderate-risk deleading. To find the moderate-risk class nearest you, or for a referral to a lead-safe renovator, call CLPPP at (800) 532-9571.
