The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) provides lead paint surveys, certified consulting, and compliance services for organizations managing older buildings, especially during renovation, repair, or demolition projects where lead-containing materials may be present. Our lead-paint surveying processes help protect workers, occupants, and building owners from potential hazards associated with lead exposure.
While lead-based paint is generally safe if undisturbed, renovation and repair work can release hazardous materials. Comprehensive lead paint assessments and regulatory guidance can help reduce exposure risks, prevent project delays, and maintain regulatory compliance.
Lead Paint Consulting Backed by Technical Expertise
Our consultants identify lead-containing materials, assess potential hazards, and develop management strategies aligned with individual project objectives and applicable regulations. During renovation and demolition activities, an ATS Resident Project Representative (RPR) can perform on-site observations, support documentation efforts, and help stakeholders maintain compliance.
Our lead paint assessment services include, but are not limited to:
- Lead paint surveys and lead inspections
- Sampling, analytical support, and wipe sampling
- Air monitoring
- OSHA and EPA compliance guidance
- Renovation and demolition planning support
- Project oversight and documentation
- Contractor coordination assistance
- Employee training support
ATS also assists clients in characterizing lead-containing waste and understanding disposal requirements through TCLP testing and analytical review.
What is Included in a Lead Paint Survey?
ATS lead paint surveys involve thorough inspection of all surfaces affected by renovation or demolition. Once lead paint is detected, our risk assessors determine its type, location, and severity. Building owners can then remove lead-based materials or implement maintenance plans with regular inspections. We can also provide environmental consulting and SGS-backed analytical support to help clients make informed decisions about lead risks.
Which EPA and OSHA Standards Apply to Lead Paint Surveys?
Lead regulations vary by state and project type. As an EPA-certified laboratory, ATS can help clients understand and navigate the federal, state, and local requirements that apply to renovation, demolition, and building management projects, including:
- 40 CFR Part 745
- TSCA Sections 402, 403, and 404
- Title X Section 1018
- Applicable OSHA lead standards: 29 CFR 1926.62 and 29 CFR 1910.1025
- Clean Air Act
Per EPA guidelines, our consultants undergo a rigorous recertification process every 5 years to keep our techniques up to date and our professionals informed of recent regulatory changes.
