This EPA/State of Michigan course is required for all lead inspectors every 3 years to maintain their certification.

The course topics include characteristics and uses of lead-based paint, lead’s health effects on adults and children, types of lead-based paint housing components, identification of other lead-containing materials in housing, x-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis, paint chip, and dust wipe sampling methodologies, clearance examination procedures, and required documentation and report creation standards. Additionally, this course will assist attendees in keeping up with the current changes within the industry and new requirements from federal or state regulations. <p>Upon completion of this course, attendees must submit their certificate and pay fees to the State of Michigan to renew their State certification as lead inspectors and pass a third party (State) certification exam. Further, State regulations require lead inspectors to undergo XRF manufacturer training prior to conducting XRF analysis.

PLEASE NOTE: As per the Michigan Lead Abatement Act, any individual who wishes to test for lead-based paint in target housing and child-occupied facilities must maintain their State certification as a licensed lead inspector every 3 years. While the required applications are provided during the training course, the fees and required third party (State) licensing exam required for individuals are not included in the cost of the training course.
