Federal standards define lead-based paint as:
Any paint or surface coating that contain lead equal to or in excess of 1.0 milligram per square centimeter or more than 0.5 percent by weight. Oregon and Washington are the same.
EPA requires individuals conducting lead-based paint activities (abatement, inspection, and risk assessment) in target housing and child-occupied facilities to be trained and certified. The trainers are accredited to ensure quality, and certified individuals must follow specific work practices.
