Certification Training for Lead Testers and Professionals

For lead testers and other environmental safety professionals, maintaining certification and improving expertise is essential. In Central New York, lead inspector certification must be renewed every 3 years through recertification. This involves completing an EPA-accredited refresher training course, typically 8 hours or 1 day, that covers updates on lead inspection techniques, regulations, and safety practices. Our training programs meet all standards. These courses help professionals stay current with evolving regulations and best practices, enabling them to deliver reliable and compliant lead testing services.

Jonathan Yost

He came out to do testing on my home. He was very patient and insightful. He even took time to make sure we were informed about the risks and different ways we could do better to prevent exposure. I was highly impressed with the whole experience. I am truly grateful that he came, anyone else could have just done the tests and left but the fact he wanted to teach and make sure we understood him was amazing.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

Homes built before 1978 often contain lead-based paint, dust, soil, or plumbing. Even small exposures can cause serious, lifelong developmental harm in children under 6.

Our EPA-Certified Risk Assessors conduct a complete, top-to-bottom inspection, including:

  • Full visual inspection of interior and exterior surfaces.

  • Paint testing with our SciAps X-550 XRF analyzer and paint chips where needed.

  • Dust wipe sampling from floors, windows, and high-contact areas.

  • Water sampling after 8+ hours of non-use, per EPA guidelines.
