Lead-Related Construction – Current Trends and Future Opportunities

Guest Speaker: Maxwell Weintraub

Chief Lead Hazard Reduction Section California Department of Public Health
Max is responsible for the accreditation of lead-related construction training providers and certifications of lead-related construction professionals. Max worked for 20 years at USEPA Region IX in San Francisco where he performed hundreds of enforcement inspections. Max was involved in the $20 million settlement for RRP violations. This was the largest federal enforcement case under the Toxic Substances Control Act.

Lead-related construction activities are going strong in California. More inspections for lead hazards are required, stronger standards identifying lead hazards are in place, and more funding to remove lead hazards is available.  More remains to be done to strengthen state regulations, integrate them with federal requirements, and prepare them for RRP authorization.  This talk will cover some of the recent lead-related construction successes and outline future opportunities for growth.
