Lead Safe Registry

When a property passes a clearance test, the home is considered lead safe. Lead may still be present at the property but is not considered a risk. It means that as long as the surfaces that are painted or repaired are maintained from chipping or peeling, or the items that are replaced do not become dilapidated to the point of not working, then this property is considered lead safe.

These properties are not lead free. This does not mean that a property is lead free. A property can only be classified as lead free when there no lead amounts greater than 1.0 mg/cm 2 was found on any building components.

There are two parts to the clearance of a property: The first is a visual assessment that verifies the work has been done. For example, if bare soil were found on the initial lead assessment, the visual part of the clearance would be to look where the bare soil was to make sure that the contractor or home owner covered the bare soil with material such as mulch or river rock or other material. The second part of the clearance consists of laboratory analysis of environmental dust samples to identity lead dust, which is too small to see.
