Description
Exposure to lead is often called the “silent hazard” of the workplace. It hides in paints, dust, pipes, and manufacturing materials, yet its health risks can be devastating when left unchecked. For organisations, ignoring lead safety can mean costly legal action and risks to employee wellbeing. High Skills Training’s Lead Awareness Training equips learners with the essential knowledge to identify, manage, and control lead-related hazards effectively.
This course begins by exploring the hazards of lead exposure and its effects on health, before breaking down the UK legal framework under the Control of Lead at Work Regulations 2002. Learners will also discover how recruitment practices, job classification, and accurate documentation play a vital role in managing risks. Practical guidance covers safe workplace procedures, engineering controls, PPE, cleaning, and waste management.
Further modules address biological monitoring, health surveillance, and employee rights, ensuring both compliance and protection. Supervisors and managers will benefit from targeted lessons on emergency response, incident reporting, RIDDOR compliance, and continuous safety improvement.
By completing this course, learners will not only strengthen their workplace safety practices but also contribute to a culture where employee health is prioritised and legal responsibilities are met. Lead exposure is a hidden danger — but with the right awareness, it can be effectively controlled. Safety today builds healthier workplaces tomorrow.
